Default RE: CMPro 71" Fw-190 kitbash

Just a couple of notes about the servo bays. Each bay houses 2 servos; one for the aileron and one for the flap. I installed standard size servos for these. However, things were very tight and hard to work in. So, I changed my approach as follows. I built 1/8th ply frames that hold both servos. The frame is removable with 4 screws. This helps things alot. I am now planning on replacing the standard servos with mini's that have roughly the same torque. This should help greatly with the space problems. I wouldn't expect anyone to try and do all this....again, I wanted to see how far I could go in making everything scale.

Dave, here is what I would recommend. Build the ailerons in a similar fashion to the way I described. You can use robart hinge points - that will make it a bit easier, quicker. Use the aileron servo, linkage arrangement that comes with the model. That will allow you to do the job quickly and come out with a scale looking aileron.
