Like to here some thoughts on this..

From what I here, hooking up the linkage is a PITA on the flaps and I can see why.. Trying to get it all right on a servo that is mounted to a hatch, just seems like it will suck..

What if i mounted a low profile servo on rails in the wing and just use the hatch as access? I know the servo I have pictured is a retract servo which is no good, just using it for the height.. I know I can get low profile digital so I can program them.. I set one in and it looks like it will work fine, I think it would be pretty easy hooking up the linkage to a servo that is hard mounted and getting it programed right.. I am running a smart fly and plan on plugging into one port with no ''Y'''s. Just gonna be a programming thing to get the end points right and travel adjustments as well as the speed, like setting up twin elv. servos..
Am I missing something here, or do you think it is a good idea??
