Sorry that I didn't get back to all of you earlier---My father had a heart attack and I've been busy dealing with that.

No, Trim has not released their speed brake kit yet even though it is listed on their web site. Actually, I ordered it with my kit but was told it was not available.

Charlie---Yes, I received your E-mail concerning the aileron and flap servos. The mod will be easy to do and I'll make it so that the flaps won't need the reversed servo.

Tommy----Thanks for the pics. My E-mail address is: [email protected] Please send pics of them installed while looking up the tail pipe if you can.

Reuben----Yes, that info helps!!! Now I will know what size stroke and where to mount the air cylinder to make the speed brakes deploy to 50 degrees. I will make an angle template.

There is another way to make the speed brakes fit tightly without going to all of the trouble of making new ones from a mold taken from the fuse. Cut out the speed brakes with a Dremel #409 disc taking care not to cock the disc sideways. After cutting the S/B free, square up all cuts in the fuse with a file and sanding tools. Place the S/B in place noting where the excessive gaps are. Remove the S/B from the fuse. Take masking tape and apply it to the outside of the S/B working one edge at a time. Take milled fiber and apply it to the edge. Using thin C/A, wick the glue along the edge and allow it to kick off. Peel off the tape and block sand the edge checking often for a good fit. It works for me!!! What you are doing is extending the edge line. The milled fiber and C/A combo cures very hard and is just as tough, if not tougher, than the surrounding fiberglass. You can also put the edge on some wax paper and then apply the milled fiber and C/A. The waxed paper will not stick and leaves a smoother finish.
