Default RE: Sig Mid Star 40 Build Thread

I installed the first aileron servo into the wing today.

Started by marking out where the servo will sit exactly relative to the servo bay – you’ll note the substantial grasp I have on technical drawing in the first photo.

Then once I’d cut out a slot for the control horn it was a standard setup with hardwood standoffs to mount the servo and 4 servo screws to mount the cover.

I finished off by adding a drop or two of thin CA to all the screw holes.

I’m pleased with how this has come out – it’s not a complicated modification but it’s always rewarding to get a good result. I’d say I’ve built more strength into the area than is required, meaning more weight but not enough to be detrimental I shouldn’t think – and so the strength can only be an upside.
