Regarding the flaps, I had a 6 Channel receiver and Transmitter. I had a Y harness but the flaps were moving in opposite directions, like you said. So, I lost the Y harness, connected one flap to my flap channel, the other to my gear channel and mixed Gear with Flaps. If you asked me what settings to use, I couldn't tell you. It was a lot of tinkering with sub-trim, reversing, etc, but I wound up with a nice even 3/4 flap setting on my landing gear switch. I also made sure the servos weren't "singing" in over rotation.
It's definitely a well built model. The springs on the landing gear tend to compress..and stay, but they are primarily aesthetic. The wires do most of the work. I love the Fun Cub but the gangly legs are pure function not form, so it was refreshing to see some scale detail show up on the Pilatus.
Thx for a very impressive assembly video. Best I've seen yet with a wealth of good information. This manufacturer seems to really put out a great product. Are all their designs this good?
I'm no expert on the Porter, but I am a full scale pilot. A blade like on top of the wing is usually an antenna, not a vortex generator, those are usually much smaller and near the leading edge of the wing. I can't really see that one fin would even work as a vortex generator, I would expect a row of fins to generate that effect.
On the Pilatus Porter shown, there is a strake mounted on the centerline to stabilize rudder input. Has to do with the plank-shaped vertical stab and adverse yaw if I recall my research.
Negative sir, the upper fixtures are not aerodynamic but electronic, UHF and VHF antennas of various types and locations depending on the model and operator, definitely not strakes or fins to do with airflow.
Well, Multiplex is a German company and the European market is the primary target so it's not that surprising. It's also a connector they sell, so the package makes sense. Fortunately, it couldn't be easier to pop out the ESC and solder on your own.
Great looking model! Last multiplex I had was the minimag - looks like they have really stepped things up!

Workin' on my 3rd Funcub,love that German engineering(and all those cool parts!)! Really like the build video,thanks! Pilatus is on the list!

Awesome. Jealous that you guys got one before they hit the stores!
Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Nice plane bro, thanks for sharing. 👍

+G56AG Absolutely correct, it's actually a VHF Antenna and not a vortex generator.
Good instructional video, would a more forward CG be better on all RC airplanes.
Hi has anyone tried to fly with 4s 2200 stock setup...
Why doesn't anyone adjust servos/surfaces mechanically anymore. You lose throw and torque when you use so much sub trim...
Would it be possible to equip it with a little more powerfull motor and for e.g. a 4S Lipo?
the motor is plenty powerful enough, a 4s p[ack would be too big and heavy anyway

i guess they didn't learn anything from the extra 300 review eh. they are still using that goofy battery connector.
