Default RE: Best way to join split ailerons?


ORIGINAL: s5lin

There is an option of Y connectors. But I don't want to mess with all the wiring, as I have a fairly basic radio. (Airtronics VG400).

I was able to buy some high torque servos from Servocity when they had a sale. I got two of the coreless 945MG for about 50 dollars a piece, these servos are 150oz at 6 volts. I think 150 oz-in is plenty for the ailerons.

My plan was not to increase the roll rate of the plane by joining the ailerons. I just didn't feel I need the flap feature.

Thanks for the advice from all who posted. It is well appreciated. I think I will use the brass tube idea and join it like I would a typical arf wing.
Probably would work ok but I would just build 2 new ailerons myself. Would take like 2 hours max to build and cover them and then you don't have an area that could possibly fail.
