Default TF P-40E servo setup

I'm building a TF P-40E and I'm putting in servo's in each wing for the ailerons and flaps. Does anyone have a good way to mount the aileron servos in each wing or should I just copy the flap servo setup?

If you use separate servos for the ailerons, mount them just like the flap servos. It will work very well. We'd suggest that you make a paper tube for the wires. It makes it very easy when you have to remove the servos at a later date. Just roll up a 3/8" or so tube out of a few layers of copier paper. Roll them around a dowel and use white glue (such as Elmer's) to stick the layers down. Spread it with a brush. When the glue dries, you'll have a good tube. Cut holes in the ribs to accomodate the tubes and glue the tubes to the ribs. Works like a charm!
