Why two servos?

That's easy...because:

1) it is very easy to adjust direct linkages to perfection,

2) this plane has a six foot wingspan...might as well minimize servo blowback and slop caused by the excess moving parts associated with the original design,

3) Once you've flown a plane that is truly set up properly (even a slow-flying plane like the Hog) you can't go back to flying a plane which you are constantly "reacting to" or needing to fight its bad tendencies caused by the above two conditions.

With the above in mind, I'm hoping to balance the plane with at least one of the tailfeather servos (elevator) in the rear for the same reason. I don't know how the plane will balance with the Saito .91 in place of the 46 - 60 size 2C engines this plane was designed for.

When the plane was designed, servos were larger and heavier, where today we can choose from many lightweight, powerful servos with low profiles and other features like side mounting tabs...seems like wing servo installation will be fast, easy, and fly the plane better.





The pics show aileron servos burried in the wings of a Super Cub and a Giant Scale Edge 540. That's how I plan on installing mine.
