Default RE: Finding Torque for Flaperons

you should also concider the distance between the pushrod and the servo spline, and the distance between the pushrod and the control surface.
You can use very little raw torque if you're leverage is right, or just the opposite. Those factors will also directly influence your travel distance.
HINT: It doesn't take a whole lot of flap to make a difference.
