Default RE: Wildhare Ultimate Build Thread

I'm just getting to the point of hooking up the ailerons on mine... that linkage seems like it might be a good idea... saves a bunch of weight and I already have 5945 servos which have plenty of juice... I just happen to have some extra MK clevices, control horns and some 1/8 cf rod around too... hmmm...

You are right... as long as the linkage connects at the same distance from each aileron the control throw should be identical. Might take a little longer to set up at the field but it's just an extra 4 screws to remove the connecing rod between the ailerons... hmmm... light is good, 2 less servos to power Are you getting any extra flex with this setup? How did you install hard points for the linkages int he trailing edge - did you just insert dowels?

So far I have my wings built, struts aligned, incidence set and tail feathers installed. Just waiting on my new Cowl so I can mount the DA50... probably another 10 hrs work and she'll be done. The build has been very smooth and uneventful so far... about the hardest part was making new aircraft-ply tabs - and that was darn easy LOL.
