Ok, I may be stupid, no comments please , I have a telemaster and want to change from 1 central servo to 4 servos in the wings. I would need to cut the ailerons for the flaps, but is there a easy way to add hinges for support without redoing all of the hinges? There are currently robert hinges and I figure that I would need to add 1 or 2 more on each wing side for support. Should I just forget about it, it is a winter project, for something to do.

Thanks

Jon

Cut slots on the bottom of the wing and flap/aileron and drop in more hinges with epoxy.

Jon, you can make hinges from monokote and slide them through the gap

Thanks guys,

I am one of those guys, probably like most in this hobby, that does nto leave anything alone for long.

I'd go with Minnflyers advice. Your existing hinges will likely provide plenty of support and the Monokote hinges will be added insurance.

Jon,

Just another thought on making things a little easier for your addition of flaps... You may think about using the single servo location and the existing aileron control for the flaps.

I think the Telemaster uses torque rods and you just have to make a "Y" connector from the servo to both rods. They use this setup on planes like the Carl Goldberg Chipmunk and it is easy and works well.

Then you are just adding two servos into the wing and less cutting/fitting.

Edited to correct: Oops, I just checked that the Telemaster has separate aileron servos (the Nextar uses one servo in the center), so my suggestion won't help... Unless you split the trailing edge off and add a torque tube setup with just 1 servo...
