Default RE: SPADSTICK QUESTION

Hi A6TEXAN
I have mounted aileron servos inside the bottom of the wing, with only the servo arm protruding. I usually cut thru the bottom surface on three sides and hinge the forth side of a 2" by 2" square. What you will then have is a 2" X 2" hatch that is kept closed with a bamboo skewer into one of the flutes, from the trailing edge of the wing. Try this on a scrap piece of 4MM Coroplast. I have posted this procedure some years ago here, with photos, if you want tp search for it. Makes a nice clean instalattion. I sand the Coroplast servo mounting surface, and also sand the servo, and use thin CA glue. I usually cut off the two servo mounting ears. I believe I usually use a plastic tie wrap also, over the servo, but I always wonder if it is needed. Let me know what you think.
