Default RE: Sig 1/6 cub mods

Progress has been slow the past week or so. Either out flying or sick in bed. Got a little progress in though. Got both flaps built and hinged. I also modified the linkage to allow for greater deflecton. You can see in the CAD image that I had used a Dubro rod end and had it mounted internally. This meant that to get much deflection I had to cut a large slot in the flap to allow for the pushrod. That was a bad design. Now I have a cut off control horn poking out of the flap LE that a regular quick link hooks up to. This allows the use of a lighter 2-56 pushrod and eliminates having a hatch to access the rod end. So one improvement has 3 benefits. Hopefully Friday I can cover the wing and do the final assembly on all of this flap mess. I plan to cover the bottom of the wing, melt holes for the hinges, install the flaps and hinges, rig the servos, and then finish the covering. Hopefully I'll have some more pics on Friday. The pics don't really do the cool factor justice.
