Nice going as always Richard, and others with facts. Why are we talking about "scale" surface deflection? We are two years away from the best models here. Those amongst us that are going to build and fly in months could do that with a TF? I may have missed something? This is truly not an issue for us now? Not to be a pest. Our planes must fly on a different measure than the real one and scale surface deflection really isn't important except for a static display on the flaps in my opinion.
Riddle,
If there is something I don't like is not being prepared, I hate having to look up things I will use later in the build at the last moment.
Unlike all of you guys in the USA, I have to plan well ahead to get all the stuff I need in time, thats why I am already ordering the RDS-system for the ailerons.
It is available in 2 versions, one with a 45 degree bent and one with a 32 degree bent.
The reason I need to know the max. deflection is because I would need a much higher-torque server for the 45 deg RDS, so if I can avoid that I will.
Looks like the 32 degree will do just fine.
I know I will probably not fly the Corsair with scale deflections, but I want to have the ability to use scale deflection by licking the dul-rate switch on my transmitter.
It might earn me some extra points with the scale-judges.
Cheers,
Danny "Remklep" Busch
P.S.:
For those interested in the RDS-system, a pdf explaining the system with building instructions can be downloaded here: [link=http://www.genie.rchomepage.com/FILE%2006,%20ROTARY%20DRIVER%20SYSTEM.pdf]RDS-Rotary Drive System[/link]
For those not wanting to build it themselfs, like me, it can be ordered here: [link=http://www.irfmachineworks.com/rds/]irfmachineworks - RDS[/link]
