I am in the process of using the ideas off the http://homepage.mac.com/mikejames/ne...ite/index.html web site for my flaps on my 1/12th scale B1-B. Since I have already designed and made the jackscrew for the swing wing, it should be easy to incorporate the same idea into the flaps. I like the 400 size electric motors and all the various ratio gear boxes that are out there to accomplish what I need to do. I am currently waiting on universal joints to connect the gear box shafts to the threaded rods that will drive the flaps. Found the u-joints in a hobby shop under the boat supplies.
