Default RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread

FWIW, I would *not* install the servos in the wing using the method that Eagle Driver did. Most importantly, it relies on the bond with the top skin completely to hold the servo in place and if the skin on your FEJ F-15 wing is anything like mine, that balsa lining, and the skin itself, is not up to the task.

The method that Peter used is how I did mine and is *much* more secure as it ties the servo mount and both wing skings together into a strong box (strong at least if you glass the servo mount as Peter did). I would note that I had to put holes in my servo hatches to clear the scres that hold the aluminum servo mounts down, but that is not that big of a deal...
