There is a huge invisible library on this forum
You're not wrong there. There's also quite a large 'visible' library in my toyroom. It's almost at the stage where I can no longer get to the pc's
BTW Hobby..
The Dove info is taken directly from the De Havilland Engineers Airframe Pocket Manual - Dove (Devon) that just happened to be obtained around the same time Derek was building a certain popular twin engined aircraft of the same name (a Dove that is.. not a Derek)

An old BAC 1-11 cutaway I have from 1964 suggests aileron deflection of +/- 6 deg. This seems very small. Has anyone else out there any info? The cutaway is of the early G-ASHG which was involved in the test flight programme and things may have changed on the production aircraft.

I think that is an error
DM has 22 deg set in his.

Now that the beta model has been released the aircraft is of course Steve's Sea Hawk.
If any member has some real life information on the control surface deflection angles I would be very pleased to receive it.

Hi Hobby,
E-mail the Fleet Air Arm Museum. They will be able to give you the correct figures from the AP. They may take a few weeks to respond though. Or, probably faster, post the question over at the Key Publishing forums. One of the FAA Historic Flight team hangs about there. He will be able to help.
Best wishes
