Default RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER



For the aileron servo, I attached a 24" servo extension and used a piece of heatshrink to
secure the joint.Since there was no pre-installed string to route the servo extension thru
the wing, I inserted a long thin piano wire and taped the end to the extension. Then just
take it slow and pull out the piano wire and that's it. For now, the flap servo did not need
an extension The "RA" (right aileron) on the extension pin end is my way to identify every
servo lead at this stage of the build, because it prevents me from going crazy when it's
time to hook up the receiver.
