    I am trying to place Ailerons on this Slat plane and I don't know which way they should go. I had this problem on another plane but It didn't have this much AOE. I want to put them level with the elevator but that just can't be rite.

    Thanks

    I would think staight would work fine. The slats are straight right? This shouldn't be any different than if the slats were all connected creating a flat wing, this is how I see it.

    I agree with 3DMON on this one E-T because if you think on any other plane they would be this way regardless if the happen to line up with the elevator like a mid wing almost does.

    There's only one way to find out :)

    Ailerons need to be a straight extension of an imaginary straight line from the leading edge to the trailing edge. If you aligned them with the horizontal stab on your picture, the plane will not fly very long. There appears to be a ton of incidence on your wing. One degree or so might be necessary but too much will cause the plane to nose up. That being said, I know nothing about aeronatical engineering. TLAR applies heavily here. Make them straight and it shold fly okay.
