If you haven't tried a SSE with flaps you don't know what you are missing.
[snip]

Try flaps, I can almost guarantee you will like it! I have flown SSE's with and without flap servos in the wings and the difference in roll performance is minimal. With a computer radio it is easy to couple flaps and ailerons to work together as big ailerons.

Without a doubt, the flap equipped SSE is my all time favourite aircraft.
Nice SSE!!! I've been considering one for some time... I have a couple quick questions.

1. I noticed you used pin hinges. Could you tell me more. Size, brand, etc. Looks like you used 4 on each aileron, 3 on each flap.

2. Looks like you have all for servos connected the same, the "inside" arm of the servo is connected to the flap or aileron. I presume you're using a Y cable on the aileron servos, then each flap servo on its own channel, then letting the radio sort it all out?

3. Reinforcing wires on the stab/rudder? Is that a mod?

TIA
