I use mixing for this model. The ailerons are setup as elevons and
mixed with the canard elevator. You should be able to do this with
most computer radios. Use exponential as desired.
Control throws:
Canard Elevator - 1/4” up and down
(Canard Elevator surface moves DOWN for aircraft UP!)
Elevon-Elevators - 1/4” up and down
(Elevon-Elevators move UP for aircraft UP - normal)
Elevon-Ailerons - 1/4” up and down for low rate
7/16” up and down for high rate
Be sure to balance your model. I have done considerable testing with
different CG locations. I like it best at 2 ¼” behind the front edge of the
strake.
2 ¼”
Flying Notes: This is not a
trainer. If you are new to
RC, get some help from an
experienced modeler.
Start with low rates.
Launching: Give it a good
chuck over-head with quite
a bit of power on. Keep
your hand out of the prop!
There are some videos on
my facebook page that
depict launches.
If you are an intermediate sport pilot, flying the WildKard
should be fairly straight forward. Stalls are very gentle,
however, at very low speed the ailerons become
sluggish. If you find yourself here, just add a little power.
Rolls are fast on high rate. Having pitch control on all
surfaces helps to tighten the turns. As with most canards,
inverted flight requires some attention! Landings are
simple, just carry a little power through your turn to final,
then chop the throttle and float on in. Enjoy!
