Default Scale concealed flaps

Hello,

Im currently working on a Brian Taylor Bf-109e. I have intentions to conceal the control linkages for both the ailerons and the flaps. The each control surface has its own servo but im unsure on how to setup the control horns on the flaps or ailerons as well as hinging the surfaces to get the correct throws.
Any ideas?
The model actually came from my father who passed away recently and left the model 2/3 finished. I could only find the fuselage plans and not the wings which i would like to see but i cant without buying the plans. Bit of a bummer!
Ill try and get my freinds digital camera and get some photos and you can see what im talking about.

The main problem im facing is the hinging of the flaps and ailerons. I have the servos and control arms all done but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Last year, I put together a set of pages on "High Lift Devices", including contributions from other RCU members. It's got a ton of info on both full-scale and model-size linkages. Check it out at http://homepage.mac.com/mikejames/rc...ite/index.html
