A little progress...

I got the aileron servo installation sorted out. I decided to mount dual outboard servos for simplicity and lightness. They may be wired as flaperons (independent channels) or via a Y-harness depending on whether the nose gear installation will require a servo (likely). I'll be using a super light 6 channel receiver (AR6100) and 6-7 servos. I also decided to go with HS-65HB's on all control surfaces as the HS-55's are a little flimsy for a high powered mini pattern plane. I'll probably also use an HS-65HB for the mains and 2 HS-55's on throttle and nose gear.

The aileron servos are mounted centered on the CG line. I've mostly completed the prep work on the right wing panel. The left panel still needs its servo lead tunnel as well as servo well sheeting. The gear servo center section is done except for the pushrod tunnels.

Wing and stab sheeting has also been prepared so, with some LE, TE and aileron/elevator stock (which I need to pick up), the flying surfaces should come together pretty quickly once the wing prep is complete. I'll be using Zpoxy laminating resin for the sheeting which I decided to build up with aliphatic resin (typically I would use CA to build the sheeting but foam safe CA is rather precious).

I'm looking forward to some sheeted wings and stabs!
