Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Hillville, I will get you a photo soon.

Roger, there are a couple of options based on builder's preference. The bellcrank plate is shown just to give an idea of how it would fit into a wing that was setup the old way. You can put 4 servos in the wings - if you use light servos. Since the load on the ailerons are now dividend between two servos, you can put light servos in with half the torque and still be perfectly capable in the air. Another way to do it (if you do not have as many servos - or have a concern for weight) is to put a servo in the center as before, to control the flaps, then use two servos for the ailerons. This setup will allow you to close up the trailing edge. Fuel proofing is not required... unless you put the engine on the wrong end of the plane

Having a pits muffler means the exhaust would be very far away form the wing.
