Glider Model With Four-Flap Wing (Heron) - Multiplex WINGSTABI Erweiterte Anleitung

Glider model with four-flap wing (Heron)

For a glider model with four or more flaps, the flaps in combination with the ailerons
must carry out significantly more tasks. On the one hand, the flaps support the ailerons
in their function. On the other, the ailerons also share flap and/or spoiler functions.
Definitions: For one wing with six flaps, we have the ailerons on the outside (also called
outer flaps), the middle and the inner flaps. Optionally, proper airbrakes can also be
programmed in the WINGSTABI. Ailerons and flaps move up and down as desired,
whereas spoilers only move in one direction. Airbrakes come up or down out of the
wing. Result: Flaps change the profile by means of warping up and/or down; spoilers
and airbrakes are for braking. These descriptions obviously also apply to the simple
four-flap wing. The following observations take the example of a four-flap model as on
the Heron from MPX.
The range of tasks with the Heron can be divided into three parts: Firstly, the inner flaps
(with less deflection) are to be coupled with the ailerons. Secondly, both the ailerons
and the inner flaps as flaps are to be positively and negatively warped in order to
achieve speed, thermal and starting positions. Thirdly, all flaps are to allow a butterfly or
crow position, albeit with different movement directions, in order to reduce height and hit
the landing spot exactly.
