Redwulf,
I was reading your post about the aileron linkage. On the original Jensen kit and the
original airplane by Phil Kraft all the linkage was on the outside under the wing , it
was not on the trailing edge. The single aileron servo was mounted underneath near
the center of the wing and the pushrods exited the fuselage through small u-shaped
slots on the sides. There was a 90 deg nylon horn mounted on the outside underneath
section of the wing on a piece of plywood glued between two ribs that sent the linkage
to the ailerons and connected with standard nylon aileron horns.
Everything on the outside - out the fuselage , 90deg turn , to the aileron - simple but
effective. I used this stock setup on all three of mine and it worked perfectly.
Also, the wing and landing gear was held on by the old standard - rubber bands , not
as pretty as nylon bolts but a whole lot simpler.
Color: I vote for yellow. I had two red ones and one yellow one all with black maltese
crosses on white backgrounds and my favorite was the yellow.
Good luck with your stick
