Default RE: aileron servo idea

In addition to my previous post, I just wanted to add it is my preference not to use the hardwood blocks despite that technique may be adequate in a lot of situations.

You are right about making sure the alignment of the servo rails is spot on. If they are out of alignment you will have an uneven throw of the servo arm. Just needs a bit of elbow grease and patience and it comes out good in the end.

A friend and fellow flyier has recently received his Hanger 9 P47 and has stripped it fully and is modifying it. He showed me his wing and hardware and I saw the ailerons and flap servos involve the hardwood blocks glued to the bottom of the hatch covers. He is fitting a Zeus 220 and I was wondering if anyone can comment whether or not the block on hatch technique is really suitable in this situation.

Anyway, like most people I am here to learn from others and would appreciate any advice or criticism so that I may enjoy the hobby more.

Regards,
Mark.
