Default SERVO PROBLEM

I have a delta wing with a 25" wide ELEVATOR in the center of the plane. The ELEVONS are (of course) located on the outer sides of the elevator.

The overall DELTA is 60" wide. It has a ROSSI .81cc for the power plant as a PUSHER PROP.

Q.) Is the "standard" JR SERVO strong enough to swing the entire elevator. I will use a 10" 4/40 solid threaded wire to the control horn on the side of the elevator.

As you can see by the attachment, I CANNOT INSTALL the servo anywhere else.

Q.) Where do I plug my elevator servo leads to?

In order for the ELEVONS to work as such, I have to plug one of those servos into the aileron and the other into the elevator.

With the electronic "mix" They act as ailerons or as elevators

That leaves the center elevator. Where do I plug it into? The elevator in the receiver is used.

What I am wanting is all three elements to go UP & DOWN as a functional elevator but the outer elevons to do the turning

Normally, when you have a seperate elevator, you do not hook the ailerons up as elevons, just as a regular aileron setup.

I think the operative word in ther was "normally"

Think about it --- 60" of total LIFTING.


Hah ! LOL Nothing NORMAL about a Delta
