Status: offline 		Awesome! I have been wanting a Val for years, I would definitely be interested in purchasing a set of the larger plans when they are done.... and although i'm not big on .60-sized stuff these days, i think i will grab one of these, just to have! Following your construction thread with great interest,
Lenny

I was wondering if you will be able to replace the servo's in case one happens to fail? I was also wondering if you were planning on concealing the elevator and rudder controls within the confinds of the tail? How scale are you planning on making this model. It seems that it will go together quickly, the work comes with the finish. When you do your scale details can you post some pics so we can see how she is coming. I have never seen an R/C Val before and it looks to be a great Warbird. I was also wondering about the flap servo. Is it totaly closed in or can you get at it from the top of the wing? And those conections from the belcranks to the flaps. Will it be difficult to find the clevis even after using the fuel tubing. Could you make a removeable hatch in those area's as well. Sorry for all the questions, it just seems that all the servo's are buried as well a the linkages. Your pics are great and we do appreciate seeing them. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Craig.

Status: offline 		Hi Craig, sorry for the dealy in replying, work has taken me away from home.

The servos are held in with hex screws (http://www.modelfixings.co.uk and look for servo screws), and there will be a hatch to get access to both the aileron and flap servos. The bellcranks shouldnt be a problem with the wing on its edge the tubing hengs down, and pushing the wire into the tube is very easy, once in the tube just push and turn till the thread engages.

I want to hide as many control links as possible.

I will be starting on the Fuz on Saturday, when I return (I cant wait).
