Question: My VMAR model comes complete wtih Flaps. Do I have to use them or is usage optional?

Answer: No you do not have to use the flaps. Although we have provided flaps with the model, you can simply lock the flaps in place at a neutral position and fly without activating them. We'd suggest that if you are going to go that route, install the control horns to the flaps and run the control rods to a fixed point near the flap servo cavity trays. Some folks actually mount a servo wheel to the servo cavity cover and attach the control rod to the servo wheel or even install flap servos as they would normally do for flap operation but don't hook the servos up to your receiver. This latter solution in effect has you all ready to use the flaps should you decide to later on.
