ORIGINAL: Tall Paul

You're going to be surprised at how quickly the wing out the window vanishes when you deflect the surface.
You're working with many pounds of force, not ounces.
Well Paul I was not planning to turn the wing sideways hanging out the window. I only want to know the force at the servo connected to a 2 1/2 by 20” aileron deflected 30 degrees.

I just finished driving down the road at 55 to 60 mph and the wing is very stable and secure. A slightly better arrangement to make sure the wing is parallel to the slipstream would be desirable but probably not necessary.

I am leaning towards assuming that servo current is proportional to the mechanical force against the servo. If data cannot be found the assumption can be verified on the bench at a later time.
