EL to FLAP Ratio?#0 source
My P-40 ARF contol setup came out at 1 to 1. I have 28 degrees of EL and Flap, both up and down. Questions:

1. Is this enough travel? .... I have an adjustable handle, any suggestions for spacing there?

2. Is the 1 to 1 ratio correct?

3. The CG is at 2 1/2" from leading edge for the 1st flight. The plane is 51 oz. RTF, with batteries.

4. This ARF was excellent, everything fit perfectly. The covering was great and it was a pleasure to assemble, (modern CL dictionary: build?? . I did all the normal ARF mods. My hats off to Brodak for a job well done.

5.The only thing missing in the instructions was any mention of the control hookups. I ended up (guessing) placing the pushrod from the bellcrank in the TOP hole in the Flap horn. The CF pushrod between the Flap and the EL is hooked up to the CENTER hole in each horn. This resulted in the 28 degree movement for all surfaces.

TIA for any help on this.
