Default RE: adding flaps to an arf

Ok just kidding , I have my second one new in box .
Plan -1)cutting flaps from wings with nife , not dremil cutting tool , while dremil is great it will create a gap and I want to see how much of the original wing/flap I can use .
2)plan on tapeing my area off taht will be cut keeping the flap 100% solid until removed from wing
3)would like to keep the servos ahead of the cg , that will keep the average of 1.2 oz per servo =2.5 to 3oz ahead of CG , important considering wheels impact CG when retracted .
4)I am going to evalute two options , 1)one HD servos driveing bell cranks similar to the original RED box Top Flight set ups and connecting to center flap as suggested or two servos -standard with center flap connection .
5)hollow out flaps in scale manner as applacable so that internal slats will slide as flaps are extended .
