Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your response! I'm a bit unprepared as I did not take a real look at the numbers you need.
Right now one of my wings has the servo installed and the other doesnt. I've not installed the hi tec servos I plan on using.
Also, my JR servo still attached to the wing is stuck in the down position which it never reached full deflection.

Maybe I can give you the data to the failed servo and then install the Hi Tec servo and give you that data as well. I'd have to complete that project tomorrow as its late here.
I will post the data here tomorrow after work.

Thanks,
That would be great Orlando. Also a picture of the servo stuck in position with the hatch removed and link connected would help in understanding the problem.

Just to confirm it, all the tools posted here are completely freeware. They are at the disposition of the community and everyone is welcome to ask help from here.
This post is intended to help people in understanding flight controls requirements and is a complement of my two articles posted in the previous and actual RCJI publication.

The tools are available from my ftp here ( imperial units ):

and here ( metric units ):
