Ok so the new design doesnt require a slim servo for the flaps as Manu had to do, however I'm finding it a bit of challenge in getting the geometry right for the aileron linkages. I thought I would use thier hardware as I did on the Phoenix Corsair. At least thier ball links have zero slop in them. A bit tight but I added a touch of silicone spray to help free them up a bit. I dont know why they wanted to tuck the linkage arm for the ailerons through the wing. I would have been fine with the regular straight to servo arm and horn configuration. Anyway its not Top Gun Warbird entry so I'm not too fussed, hence why I'm just sticking with the stock cockpit and pilot. I'll work out roughly what size the guns are and probably use carbonfibre tubes, but I need to make at least the two longest ones removable to fit into my wingbags.
