Turtle Report:

I got the aileron extensions soldered onto the ailerons. Anytime I have a long run for an extension and especially when the plug is hidden out in the wing, I solder the connection. By design our servo plugs are self cleaning - just the act of plugging and unplugging the extensions keep them clean. When they are buried inside the airplane are not unplugged on a regular basis corrosion will build up and there will be a voltage drop to the servo........eventually it will become erratic and loose much of its strength. At least that has been my experience over the years.

I spent much of today soldering, installing and adjusting my aileron servos. I also screwed on the control horns and made the push rods. I have a new radio - a Futaba 8FG. It has a touch sensor wheel for programming and a much different layout of menus than my old Futaba 7C........most of this time was spent learning how to use this new system.
