I'm not precisely a newbie, but it's a trainer I figure it might as well go here.
Has anyone done wing bay mounted aileron servos(ie in wing instead of what AMA's publication did with the torque rods inside the trainer).
I'm coming back after a year out of the loop, and I'm recovering and converting this plane to electric. I want to remove the ailerons for the covering process, as I've already done with the elevator and rudder, but doing so will involve cutting the torque rods and/or breaking the ailerons. I would prefer to go ahead and convert this to a more conventional in wing set of servos, but im curious if anyone has done it with this plane and has advice on doing so.
I have a trainer with dual aileron servos mounted in the bays. It works great, no problems at all. I did the modification as I built the plane, not as a conversion so it was easier for me to do.
