Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Ok, here are some images of the servo box. It hooks onto the lower rear spar and pivots up into place. Then servo are drops down to connect to the control surface. There is a spot to use a metal screw for securing the box. For safe operation, this was designed so that if the screw came lose, the box would not fall out - thanks to the control rod that would prevent the end of the box from falling out. The 1/16 ply panel will sit at the same level as the wing sheeting. Once covered, it will be flush and clean.

The holes on each side of the box are for alignment of your typical skinny screwdriver/hex wrench that would be used to install the servo. The mounting screws for the servo are easily installed with the aid of small pre-tapping holes. This design will allow a servo to be changed at the field in just a few minutes.

It's very light, and very strong. I suggest using light servos to those who want to use this. There is some talk about putting this up as a kit for use in any plane. It's been patented so this can take place.
