Default RE: Two servo ailerons


ORIGINAL: atomic monkey

I am really impressed with all of the great ideas! I ordered the Chipmunk last weekend from Tower and I feel like a young kid just before Christmas!<div>As suggested, I am going to buy a 4 channel arf trainer and get comfortable with it before I take the Chipmunk up. It will probably take allot longer to build than I am thinking so it probably wont build up too much dust.</div><div>
</div><div>One more question on the aileron servos...</div><div>I like the idea, ease and redundancy of two servos but if I mount them out in the wing to avoid a long control arm, that seems sort of anti aerobatic, if I mount them next to each other in the wing root, it still has two long control arms. Am I over thinking this?</div><div>
</div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Mike</div>
Yes, you are way over thinking this, just place your servos out from the root of the ailerons around 38-40% of the span and you will be set.
