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
its too hard to explain i need to get some photos. Im not picking up the aircraft until a week this saturday. I was attempting to get some help before i got them so i can start work staright away.

Here is an idea for flaps and ailerion linkages.

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

I have seen that site before, but i wasnt looking for it at the time so i didnt take down the details.
Looks pretty good
Thanks for the help
