Hey ya'll,
I am in the middle of construction on a Brodak Bi-Slob, and if I understand the plans correct, that when the elevator moves up, the flaps also move up,and when the elevator moves down, the flaps also move down. is that right? Thanks for the help.

Nope!

They need to move opposite to each other (how did you get the control linkage to do that, anyway?).

OK, I do think there were some discussions recently on this very forum about that sort of UP/UP DOWN/DOWN setup. I can't remember what they concluded, however.

Just going by the STANDARD way that stunt ships are set up, the answer is Nope!

(Hey, wait.. Is THAT how they get the Bi-Slobs to hover and stuff?.. Wuhhh huhhh huhhhh!)

Reverse coupling. Elevator up, flaps down. And the general consensus was, don't you dare set it up that way.
