Default RE: BVM LE flap.

A quick update on the few things I thought were to be problems.

First, my estimated flying weight was around 17-18lbs. Now it looks like no more than 16lbs.

Second, the LE flap "lock" to avoid a load on the servos when not deployed. My solution is to have the servo arm at zero degrees to the control rod. In this configuration the rod pushes on the servo output shaft directly on its center and is not trying to turn it. It works.
