Success!!!
I was able to bend the torque rods forward enought to get the amount of throw I was looking for in the flaps. I actually sanded some of the trailing edge portion of the fuse to see if the worked. Should have just bent the rods first. I will go back and use carbon fiber to restore any potential integrity that was lost due to my stupidness

. My LHS said my motors should be in next week, so I am planning out my next move on this project. I need to review the instruction manual again to plan out those next moves. Project might be on hold for a few days until I get my engines.
