   Topic: Pitts SS 30% Aileron
Posted: Jul/13/2010 at 13:18 |

Does anyone have experience with the Symmetrical ailerons with 30% hinge from raven? I have sparcraft S1S wings, and have them nearly to the covering stage with this mod with S2C style tips. Im not sure whats the best way to balance them. Ive heard a few different ways, 1/2 the slave strut, or balanced with out the slave struts. Whats the best way? Also whats the most common thing to cause flutter with this set up?

This is the specific info you would need to balance your ailerons.

Hi there,
This is the same setup I am doing on my S1 at present. I have sparcraft wings and plan on the S2C tips also.
I would love to see some pics if you've got some.
