4 Channels on 3-channel plane... HELP!!!!
I've always wanted to add ailerons to my little HobbyZone Super Cub but don't know how to.
I obviously need a new RECEIVER, REMOTE UNIT, and SERVOS.
So I had a goofy idea, could I use parts from the PKZ tyhpoon 3D (remote,receiver,and servo) to make my SC a 4 Channel?
Here are the parts I would possibly replace from the SC

[link=http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/HZ/parkzone_typhoon/parkzone_typhoon_parts/PKZ4141.html]REMOTE[/link]
[Link=http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/HZ/parkzone_typhoon/parkzone_typhoon_parts/PKZ4130.html]SERVOS[/Link]
Please help me out with this, I've never modded a plane this way and would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide me with some guidence here. [sm=71_71.gif]
-Thanks
ps. if this doesn't work, could you tell me of another way?

When I was in the Air Force way back when, our base motto was "AD ENXPLORATA" or some thing close, and it meant "TOWARDS THE UNKNOWN" lots a luck.....Cliff

your on the right track those parts will work great , the big trick is cuting a slot for the servo and cutting the alierons out of the wing , i think the wing on that bird is only about an 1'' or smaller so it might be best to cut the hole al the way through the wing and add 2 strips of ply there to screw the servo too . for the alierons you can use light ply and make a place to set the control horn . and then tape the y hareness to the wing wth the clear packing tape . and i would fit the motor from the typhoon too , dont know iff the current one can handle the extra load even though its only about 8 or 9 ozs
i have done one for the hobby shop i work for just to see if it would work , it did flew great
just rember to try to keep the blance in the plane
