Default RE: DeHavilland Mosquito 81

THEcorrect the hinge pivot point is 1/4" below the skin surface
this is a very tricky bugger to get working properly there are a lot of variables
going on here.

I knew this was going to be a challenge this was one of the reasons
I waited to do this later in the build and w/ me making my own custom actuator it
just adds to it.

Not having drawn this up on CAD I have to work through problems by trial and error, the biggest thing right now is getting the correct travel on the servo arm
to get full FLAPS and back to neutral.

So I'm still working on it, I've made some red marks on the drawing to try and help you other guys understand better and placed a
ruler in spots to show the gap size and hing pivot points.

Still trying to make it work well
