Default GP Lancair extension lengths?

Quick question - what are the lengths from the aileron and flap servo cutouts to the center of the wing? I plan to put each servo on its own channel, so I need to order the appropriate length extensions.

Per the manual it looks like I'll need 48" ones for the ailerons and 36" ones for the flaps? That doesn't seem right. (12" & 24" extensions + 24" y-harnesses)

I think I only used a "Y" on the flap servos. The extension length called for left excessive wire, especially with the "Y" at the end.
Probably depends on the length of your lead extension coming from the RX.
About 3/4 done with my second Lancair...another week or two.

I used two 12" and two 24" plus the Y harness and that gives plenty I think to reach thge RX which the instructions show mounted in the back of the fuse behind the wing bolt down area.

I figured those lengths seemed excessive.

I'd still like to know the distance from the aileron and flap servo cutouts o the wing's center, though...

OK - trying again.

Would someone that has a Lancair measure the distance from the aileron and flap servo cutouts to the center of the wing?

Thanks.

OK, here you go:

26" from center of aileron servo to center of wing.
10" on the flap servo.

Hope this helps
