i'm considering buying a used s10-vt, and have so been flying one in
the x-plane flight simulator extensively as of late. but i think it's model of the control surfaces is inaccurate and so am hoping someone could provide me with some info regarding the flaperons. specifically, an australian POH that i found says there are 6 positions for the flaps: -10, -5, 0, +5, +10, and +16. a brazilian certification form confirms this, and further says that the ailerons can deflect from -16 to +10. what i don't understand, perhaps because i'm new to full-span flaperons, is how the 6 flap positions affect the range through which the ailerons can move. how to say this succinctly... hmmm: irrespective of the flap position, can one always move the ailerons through 26 degrees? in other words, with flaps set at 0, do the ailerons move from -16 to +10, and with flaps at +16, do they then range from 0 to +26? or does it work some other way? i ask, b/c in the x-plane simulator, with full flaps in (+16), aileron input has no effect on flaperon position. essentially there is no roll control with full flaps other than to use the rudder and then wait for the roll coupling. what the x-plane model does is to have flap input limit the upward deflection of the flaperons without increasing the possible downward deflection. and with full flaps, the movement is completely restricted to none at all. this can't be how it really works, or is it? thanks in advance for any info. |
