RE: LT-40 Modifications
Bruce,
Doesn't take me long to switch teams[sm=idea.gif]! Here's the before and after proof. Your method seems like it would nicely integrate the loads into the wing by way of LE, spar and the sheeting. My way was to put a big hole in the LE and left the dowel unsupported till it got to the spar which had me worried. My way also generated that hunk of aluminum and screws that when cut out weighs almost as much as a standard servo[sm=bananahead.gif]. I epoxied in a piece of 1/8 lite ply to replace the ply I cut out and then I doubled it with some 1/16 plywood.
My objective with the flaps is really slow flight at times other than landing and construction experience (which I am now getting, thanks). I really like seeing a plane fly on the wing.
Greg
