Bob, How's it going
?
Time is getting one up on me and a lot of post get created inbetween my assembly progress. None the less, here is part of my post 703 that more or less explains why the boxes for the elevator.

.......... the modification process for my elevator servo mounts. As mentioned before, I am changing the servo mounting to be symmetrical. I will also be re-aligning the servos perpendicular to the hinge line of the elevator. This set-up allows both servos to fit at the same area of the fuselage and it straitens up the linkage movement.
I am surely not putting together the lightest Extra found on this thread. I am not trying to build a tank either. Soon, we will see how it turns out. However I do plan on cutting some out of the "BLOCK" that is the fairing between the Rudder/Verticle Stab and Horizontal Stab/Elevator to make up for the couple of grams I added.
Min$2crash,
I am amazed
that you are able to have"UP" coupled with your flaps.

The elevator mixes are typical- Flaps need up elevator and Spoilerons need down- just a tad, like 2-3mm. So I have that tad of down with spoilerons and a tad of up with flaps.
