Default S-3 Viking Build

Attached are more wing photos. Somehow the order got screwed up but you can see my servo mounts. I moved the aileron servo outboard 1 rib. That area of the wing gets pretty thin and it was difficult to make the hole in the inboard rib large enough for the servo plug. Even though I made the ailerons smaller, they are still a bit larger than scale. The full scale S-3 aircraft used spoilers to augment the ailerons so I was afraid to make the ailerons any smaller. I contacted Kurt at Keiro and asked if he thought I could reduce aileron size without issue and he said yes. Again although out of order, I also included 3 pictures of the flaps that show them up, 1/2 and full down. You can see how I hinged the flaps as slotted flaps are normally hinged. The flaps are actuated through a hole in the wing trailing edge which allows me to push the flaps down and pull them up.
