Oli,
Great thread especially for us scratch builders. Got a question on flap servo requirements-where the hinge pivot point is below the wing surface. This occurs when using Fun-Key hinges (from Yellow A/C) for their F/A-18 and similar jets. With their medium size hinges, the pivot point is about 10 mm below the wing/flap surface. This type of hinge yields a semi-Fowler type movement of the flap. Also, what is the recommended position of the flap control horn with this setup.? I'd appreciate your thoughts and guidance on this. Thanz in advance.
Rgds,
