RE: US60 kit in late july
For all you guys who are planning to build one of these reissued kits, don't forget about doing the simple modification of adding flaps (Not Flapperons!)
It's very simple to do. Cut just less than 1/3 off the inboard side of the ailerons and add a flap servo between the aileron servo and the TE. Then run a flexible pushrod out to the ailerons.
OR
Place the flap servo where the Aileron servo should go, and build a servo tray in each wing for a two-servo aileron setup
I've done it both ways and either way works great. So it doesn't matter which way you do it, but DO IT!
You won't regret it!
Next week, RCKen will be here and I plan to let him fly mine while I video tape it. I'll post the video when it's done.
