I go back a long way and a couple of countries with the PANICs. Just when I thought I was over them they came out with the ARF version 25th Anniversary edition.
After some Euro conversion pain to US$ one arrived in New Jersey!
I noted that it was lighter than my many previous versions and that it used a connector to the top ailerons.
I cut a small opening in the covering and slid a ply-plate trough it. A little bit of "Ship-in the-bottle" technique and the plate was epoxied in place. I ironed teh existing covering onto teh plate and it was done. There are existing holes in the ribs that allow you to feed a fuel-pick-up-clunk through on some tread for the aileron lead routing. You need to cut two new holes in the lower surface to make exits for the servo-leads.
I programmed the JR 10X to do to do Bi-plane Crow, which is both top ailerons up about 30 degrees and both bottom ailerons down about the same.
I put a trim knob mix on the elevator so that I can dial the right amount of elevator correction during flight-testing. The trim option is on the same switch as the crow activator and once etablished the auto-down-trim will be dialed-in for keeps and the elevator trim knob/mix disabled.
I also did a similar mix for the top two ailerons to be a regular down-flap for slow almost hovering landings.
You can also try some pretty funky stuff with the ailerons only dropping on one side for climbing type spins, but you need to be wary of that switch near the ground - wonder how I knew that :-(
It's a bit cold right now, 17 F or approx -10 C, so I'll just have to wait for some sun. This plane was a 3-D ship that was way before its time and even though some people claim that they are ugly they still look beautiful to me!
Regards,
Eric.

Has anyone got any experience with putting four servo's in the wing of one of these, I am thinking of using four so that I can get opposing movements for some extreme manouvres, I have the fibreglass fus version that I am just about to start building.
