Default RE: Genesis ARF build, its here.

OK, got the aileron servos mounted today. Had one minor problem.

The triangular hardpoints that are preinstalled in the ailerons to accept the Chip hyde horns were not in the same place. One is in the correct place and one is about 1/8" further away from the root than it should be. I didnt measure 1st and just trusted that the hardpoints were in the exact same place and lined up the horns in the dead center of the triangle.

It became very obvious when I attached the pushrods, one had perfect geometry at the neutral position and the other side the pushrod angles out towards the tip a bit to get to the control horn. Its just a little bit slightly <1/8", but enough to matter. I still have enough hardwood on the hardpoint to move the horn over to get the right geometry. No big deal, Im going to fix it in the morning and it will be perfect. I will use the little trim scraps from the aileron servo hole to cover the little control horn screw hole!

Coming right along!

All I really have left is to install the motor mount, engine, engine servo, landing gear and setup the gear in the cockpit area to balance it out..
