ORIGINAL: fix-n-fly

Nice work on this build. To implment the dual servo set-up in the ailerons, you could mount both servos in the center of the wing and use each to drive 1 aileron. I did this for a Senior Telemaster and it worked out fine. The other way I have seen this done is to mount the servos in the wing panels (as you are doing) and drill half inch holes in each rib between where the servo is mounted and the center wing to run the servo wires (and extensions) back to the receiver. If you need some ideas as to how to mount the servos in the wing, take a look at the instructions for the Sig Four Star 120. The instructions will show you two methods to create the servo mounts.
Thanks!


I'm actually coping the servo mount from the 4*60. I have built and flown one and have another near finished. The good thing about the LT40 is that the ailerons are so beefy that location shouldn't be an issue for flutter. For this build I'm in a little further more inboard than I was on my last 4*40. I think keeping the weight inboard will help with stability, but I'm prolly wrong.

Also rather than using servo extensions, I'm going to hardire them in from some pig tails I made. I just glued the wing tip in and will most likely spend the rest of the evening engineering my servo mounts and the front end of the bolt down wing. I will using 1/4" Oak dowl for that.
