RE: adding flaps to an arf
Joe,
Thanks for your very thorough explanation. Based on the heavy wing loading and streamline shape of this plane, I think I better not take a chance with a mediocre flaps job. I checked the wing root and may be able to squeeze a couple balsa blocks in there. I was thinking of using a long music wire to position it, but do you have any other tricks to do this?
Based on what you say, it looks like I will need a pretty heavy duty servo for the flaps as well. Would something with similar torque as aileron servos work, or does it need more sturdy servos?
Thanks again.
Stephen
