RE: Flap setup for newbies!
That's a bit of a bummer, but since mostly I do WWI stuff this hasn't been a problem. Anyway, thanks for the tips and tricks. The "same orientation" trick works fine and all I needed to do was turn the servo hatch around, flip the servo over, and realign the control horn. On an ARF, this is no problem, but would be a serious annoyance on a serious scale model.
I think for me (and my left-handed brain) pushing the switch DOWN for DOWN flaps seems the most intuitive. In one of the MAN publications there's an article by Roy Clough (Jr.) titled "The Merry Modeler's Mindset" and it's all about how setting up switches and such on a model in a consistent "mental orientation" can save the your model. For example, switches are "on" if upward or forward.
Nice Val, BTW. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
