Default RE: Yet another Sig Something Extra Build

Well got the servo mounting rails installed and I am now ready to sheath the top of the wing. When all was said and done I have moved the mass for the servos inboard by 8 inches. The mass of the servo has been moved from 11 ½ inches from the axis to 5 ½ inches. I am curious as to how that will affect the roll response???

I also manage to glue up the aileron for the left side, so at this point all of the internal structure of the wing is built. I had thought about installing blocking to support the aileron pull/pull guide tubes, but opted instead to use fairing on the guide tubes to secure the tubes to the sheathing after it is installed. There is more than enough room to fish them through the wing after it is sheathed and secure them to retainers near the servo mounts. Both of the servos and linkage will be accessed by a hatch installed on the lower side of the wing, which will be installed after the top is sheathed and the wing can be flipped over to have the bottom sheathing installed.
