I think the problem might be supporting the two wings on such a small
boom tube but I know it's been done just doesn't look all the good most times

If you could gear reduce your 400tx to turn a 10 or 11x4.7 at 5500 rpm I think you'd see amps drop by 30 to 50% and slow speed control would be much crisper with more air pressure on the control surfaces and quicker acceleration on throttle up.
I think...
therefore I am...
probably an idiot...

Edit: I just saw that P38 Stick on page 2. Very nice! I have 2 geared Feigo 12mm LPS brushless setups laying around. Maybe a Pico P38 Stick? The LHS has one right now for 20 some bucks.

I like that twin boom version Are you using 1 or two servos for your rudders?
You could take that center aileron cutout and make a flap out of it! Probably wouldn't need it but it would look cool.

More pics of perversion here: http://www.dawnpatrol.iwarp.com/photo5.html
and all the perversion you would ever want to see, but were too afraid to ask is here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...&page=65&pp=10
Hope that helps!

Oops, didn't see your second question. Yea, you could make the center a speed brake, but I think it would just get in the way of my bomb drop box, or camera, or my jato rockets
.I already have flaps, and when the ailerons didn't work out ( they suck on a Slow Stick wing), I made them into flaps as well. Take off rolls realy short now and she floats in for a landing

One of our flying cabal has an aileron equipped SS. Flies really well. Rolls etc. Inverted flight and so forth. Still floats in for landings too.

Hey Bob,
How are you? I see you found your way over here also!
In all fairness, you must at least give me credit for posting a pic of one of your planes (Sopwith Bipe).:p
Stay away from them lightpoles man!
