Default RE: Charlie Kellogg's TBM Avenger Build

So yesterday I got all the servos intalled and linkages made. Not too labor-intensive. I am using Robart control horns, Hangar9 titanium Pro-links (the rods) and DuBro 4-40 ball links on every servo arm for the ailerons and flap sections. For the rudder and the tail wheel steering, I'm using pull-pull with steel leader. For the elevator halves, I'm using the Robart horns and some rods that go all the way up to the wing centersection (where the servos are mounted). Each surface has it's own servo. Hitec 5955 TG on elevator halves and rudder, and just some standard Hitec 645 MG on the ailerons and the flap sections. I might swap out the servos in the outer flaps with the 5955 TG, because those are pretty large surfaces. We'll see.

The throttle and choke are JR digital servos (some ultra precision DS 8231). I ordiginally had some 645 MG on both throttle and choke, but I think the precision servos will be better.

Not a lot to show for this stuff, but here are a few shots from the weekend.
