Flap setup for patriot xl
Hello,
I am finishing my patriot xl and I am trying to setup my flap servos. I am using a Y connector and I was wondering if anybody could post pictures of their setup - how the servo arms are connected to the flaps. I think that I didn't mount mine correctly...
Thank you,
Le fou

Flyboy Dave,
Thank you very much for the pictures. My problems is that the way I mounted the servos (and using a Y connector) made the flaps move like my ailerons instead of moving in the same direction.... I changed the arm on one of the servos but now I have different displacement and velocity on my flaps... Do you have any ideas on how to resolve the problem?
Thanks again,
Le fou

Look at pic #2....see how the linkage pulls from straight on....when the servo is actuated (flaps)
the arm moves to a 90 degree position. This gives me about 45 degrees of flaps. (I never measured
it)....both flap servos move the same way....there is no need for special reversing switch's or
anything. Do you see what I mean ?

You can use a reversing Y harness to reverse one servo ......
Or since this is for landing flaps only.... you can probably get away with just swapping the servo arm to the other side..... the deflection offset is not enormouse.
