Hey Mntflyer, I would be very interested in knowing what products you used in the fiberglass process of your wing along with any problems or success you had in the process. I am getting close to that process myself and I can't seem to find any threads thatparallelmy application. Would you mind giving me your thoughts on your experience in this? That would really be helpful. Although I have watched people glass wings I have only done it once and that was in 1979. I am a little outdated and confused as to what products to use for this.

I made the hole size 1/2 inch wider and longer than the servo. I am building a hardwood servo tray with a 1 inch glueable surface on all four sides and additional hardwood blocks to seat the servo. You can purchase servo extensions up to 48 inches (http://www.aero-works.net/store/detail.aspx?ID=166) along with servo connection clips to assure the extension can't come apart. The picture I made is not accurate. I plan to install the servo on its side with a metal extended servo arm. I will have a hatch cover to enable access to the servo with a small slot in the middle for the servo arm to extend to the outside surface of the wing.</p>
