Default RE: A4 Skyhawk build

Hi Peter

This pre production model doesn't have any servo mounts in for the flaps, ailerons and stabs. I'm able to fit a standard size servo in the stabs either a JR8411 or I might go all Savox for this model and use their 12kg servo on the elevators and the fast 10kg on the ailerons as I want good response for the gyro. I'm with you on the rudder... this requires a bit of work as it damages the top of the fin as it moves so I'll re profile the leading edge of the rudder towards the top. The servo arrangement is my least favorite method for rudders and if I was doing it initially I would have done it the conventional way and cut a hatch on the side of the rudder. I wont need a gyro on the rudder with this model so resolution wont matter as much. I'll just see how I get on... Be good to see some pictures of your build if you have time.

The servo will be the other way round once installed.
