Default RE: Greatplanes Cherokee 40 ARF Assembly Thread

Yesterday,
i installed the Saito FA-80 on the firewall & i used the supplied engine mount.

The beams where a little bit too short because the intake assembly was hitting the nose steering arm assembly.

I installed the engine as far forward as i could,practically at the end of the beams of the engine mount.

I used Dubro 6-32x1-1/2 SHCs , washers and 6-32 safety locking nuts.

For mounting the engine mount on the firewall i used the supplied 6-32x1in. SHCs with success and some thread locking compund.

x3 servos inside the fuselage are also installed,so far.

Pictures will be posted soon.

BUT i see that at the wing GreatPlanes uses x4 servos which are too many IMO.

How can i operate the flaps using only x1 servo ?????
