No but the first one is the flat face of the wing where the carbon rod is, so you will be drilling the face in front of the rod and one rib. Just take a judgement from my picture and drill, you will be ok.

Is the flap setup with the single pin a solid thing? It seems like it could be a problem area over time? Just wondering, if they have used this with any other SM jets.

I actually found some play with the flaps with this torque rod setup, so I hysol'd a couple of pieces of thin brass sheets in the slot to close it up and for a better overall action.

Yeah thats what I was afraid of, I will probably beef mine up as well. I even considered using a typical external rod with a control horn. Well see how once I can get in there and look at it.

Can anyone suggest what the kind of torq requirement the jet needs for the spoilers? I am looking to go with a smaller servo just not sure about how much torq the need to function. I was thinking on the slats to use something around the 200+ oz of torque, any thoughts?
Im thinking 300ish for the rudders, the stabs and flaps are going to be the maz I can get .

Thanks for the info, I am going to use the BLS173s on the slats, BLS 172s on the on flaps, BLS177a on stabs and BLS175s on everything else. Im doing a Sbus setup like my F-15, my only beef with futaba right now is the lack of a good 300ish Sbus servo. I think with a single servo running the flaps have a higher torq will be easier on the servo and due to the extreme loads on the servo mounts for the stabs I opted for the metal top half of the servo with the 177s.

Congrats Mick, did you lower the peak RPM?
Here's my servo count:
Savox SB2231 for the two stabs,

SB2270 four in each wing and everything else except air valve I used 1250:
