RE: Another 4*60 on the building board
Figment,
Sorry if I haven't participated much in your build thread, the last couple of weeks have been totally crazy for me and I haven't been able to spend as much time on RCU as I would have liked. But things are getting back to normal for me now (at least I hope they are) and I should be able to spend some more time on here.
What did you mean by the question about your covering being perfect?
I did notice something that caught my eye. I know that you are just putting the mounting blocks on for the aileron servos and you may change it when you actually mount the servo, but make sure the servo isn't sitting directly on the hatch. You will want to have a small gap (approx. 1/16") between the servo and the hatch. If the servo is touching the wood it will transmit vibrations directly to the servo which can damage the servo (very quickly in some cases). The rubber grommets on the servos are there to isolate the servo from the airframe, and therefore keeping the vibrations out. On the same note you will want to make sure that you don't over-tighten the servo mounting screws as this can do the same thing as mounting the servo directly to the wood. See the attached diagrams for a better idea of what I'm talking about.
Hope this helps.
Ken
