Each wing has a single aileron surface on the trailing edge to control roll and two flaps to control lift and drag. |
It dawned on me the free-play I felt in the flight controls was an aileron gasping for air to push against as I leveled the wings. |
Put the palm of your hand against the bottom of the leading edge of the aileron at each hinge and push up. |
The missile launcher and the trailing edges of the flaps and aileron took most of the damage. |
As opposed to crabbing into the wind on final, use aileron to lean the aircraft into the wind. |
Probably due to flutter, an aileron departed the wing and the racer flipped over out of control and smashed into the ground. |
