wings (cont)

3-piece wing conversion (cont)

Put the HS-645's in their general location: two for right side flaps (since they will be split for inner and outer wing) and one for the aileron.

Ailerons:
Hinge hardpoints from balsa block was cut and glued for the ailerons: 4 dubro heavy duty nylon hinges will be used. The pins will be replaced with a long wire for easy removal. The remaining stringers around the wing's TE and flaps/ailerons were glued in.

Flaps:
5 robart large pin hinges will be used for each side: 2 on the inner flap and 3 on the outer flap. I'm anal on parts being functionally removable so robart's pocket hinges with set screws will also be used on the flaps. New control horns had to be cut for the flaps since there are now two on each side and they are in different locations, ie also different sizes. Aircraft ply was used and they were drilled/tapped for 4/40 screws for dubros heavy duty ball links. All servos will be oriented the same way and one 4 way Y will probably be used.
The green pad is nice to cut objects on as it's self sealing.

stab/elevators:
The elevators top sheeting was cut to size, 1/64" thick X 3/8" wide ply CA'ed to the TE and then glued to the ribs.
