Hello,
today I did not advance as much as I wanted, but I managed to install the right wing aileron and flap servos. It was very time consuming, as a lot of non-planned modifications are, but I am happy with the way things are looking. The other wing will be faster.
The aileron servos are going to be HITEC HS-85 MG servos and for the Flaps (flaperons) I went for the MULTIPLEX POLO DIGI 4, also metal geared.
Remaining tasks to do on the wing:
Finish installing the servos (push-rods and wiring)
Shear webs
Bottom wing skin with access hatches to the servos
Electric retracts
Winglet
Wing joiner box
Sanding
Covering
At this moment the wing as seen on the last photo weights 348 gr. I estimate the TOW will be around 3300 to 3500 gr, with a 5 cell 4200 battery.
The third video was uploaded some minutes ago to the channel, and I will post tomorrow another update with more details on the flaps.

Servo mounts securely glued in place and servos installed
Flap hinges in place, triple fastened to plywood reinforcements glued to the retracts plywood wing ribs

I hope tomorrow I can at least finish this half of the wing except for the retracts. Thank you for watching!
Fly safe, be safe.
