My Sabre's dummy survived the crash, he is looking for a new plane to fly in. He survived 2 crashes, from prop plane to turbine, but not DF yet. Would you like to take him?

All was needed was one servo arm for one of the flaps. upon installing the arm and acutating the flaps(pcm radio not computer so no mixing) one flap worked as it should have and the other went up motion, so I had to flip the servo, . In the pictures you see that the control horn will have to be relocated , does anyone think this location where the screw driver is in the last picture for the control horn would be safe or not?

If you use an reversing Y harness one servo should rotate the opposite way from the other one when both face the same direction. This should solve the problem?

Problem solved, I flipped the servo and put a nice z bend in the control rod.look odd but works great and doesnt give slack when deployed(strong enough for flaps). odd looking but this is just going to be a beater plane.,also order the aft stars & bars and found the military #6 that ive been looking for so i'll replace the nascar looking 6 with the new military 6,order some landing lights for old yeller too.all from SIG.
