RE: GWS Corsair Ailerons?
Sorry Vicman didn't realise Corsair's were painted scale in such a way, I'll try and find a pic of the original then, still wondering how you managed to get such perfect lines between each colour? What did you use to mask the body?

RE: GWS Corsair Ailerons?
Hello all, how is everyone?
I'm getting ready to build a gws corsair I'm using an Axi 2208/34 and a 3cell 1300mah li-po pack. hmm I wonder if it will hover¿ heh heh also, anyone have any pictures of the 2 servo
aileron setup?
Thanks

I'm using the single servo system, works fine with little tension - however instead of the little black tubes, I instead opted for the yellow plastic sleeving, normally used to sleeve the elevator/rudder type controls.
Works fine, with minimal slop.

This what your looking for? I used silicone for the first two and have come to apreciate mounting servos w/ silicone makes them do some odd things over time. Now I covered the servo w/ tape and then used probond and stuck those suckers in there. I fly mine just fine w/a 8.4v 730mah NiMh and the stock motor. [X(] However I would not call it overpowered by any means.
Ashley I just used masking tape but had to go back and do quite a bit of touch up. It looks better in the air

Looks great dude, incidently I uprated my battery yesterday from the stock 8.4v 900mah NIMH to a 9.6v Nicad, MUCH better, much more power and flew much better, anything less than that and the planes a twitchy little beast to fly!!

NiMh would be a little lighter, your "twichyness" sounds like you may be off a little on the CG?
I and others have gone with the first injection dot on the wing in leiu of the second with great results.
Oh, here are a few pics of Cook Cleland's F-1G. Sorry about those guys not having color back then.

Hey Vicman
Thank you for the pictures of your aileron setup. When I start building it I will post pics
of construction and the finished product.
Take care.

Snap, notice I laid them on their side. If you stand them up you may go thru the wing. BTW they are plugged into a Y harness. The radio gear is the GWS Zero package with an extra servo. If I were to build another one I would forego the rudder and use that servo for the other aileron and save 20 bucks. The only thing it needs a rudder for is a steerable tail wheel. I would not bother with the LG at all.
Have fun!
