Cessna182 FMS- real Flight

[Robbks]

Hey guys,
I'm new user and just got my first plane (EGO Cessna182 3ch) and it came with the FMS software, which includes a heap of extra planes over the download version.

In the Cessna instructions for FMS, it says to configure my TX to run both rudder and ailerons on the one channel, so simulate the 3ch characteristics of the real model.

Now, my question is, when i eventually come to fly the real cessna, will it still do banked turns like it does in the sim, considering my model has no ailerons

or will it turn very flat as it does in FMS when you have the ailerons configured on a redundant channel not used by my 4ch TX so you only have R/E/T controls

just wondering what to expect on my first flight, once i master the sim.
thanks
Rob.

Nope, it's not going to trun flat. it'll bank or roll.
That's why there's diehedral on the wing.
When the model yaws a little bit at first, the wind will hit
on the bottom of the wing more (outter wing of the turn) forcing
that wing up..therefore causing it to roll or bank

becareful not to add too much input, because it'll go inverted on you.

try these models, the three channels.

you can assign the rudder to the right side of the stick
on your model and in FMS.
This way it'll be with the elevator instead of the throttle.

cheers, thanks for that!!

i've been flying the sim with rudder on the same stick as the throttle (right stick) and also on the left stick with the elevators.
I've found i can get much smoother control with rudder on the right as i'm right handed, and i can "set and forget" the throttle.
I found that having the rudder and elevators on the same stick i was moving the elevators as well as the rudder and i was having to spend more time correcting the pitch of the plane that i really should have been.
