RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Ken,

My linkage was the correct size and I just adjusted the final length by twisting the clevis on the control
rod threaded ends. The servo should be centered first with a servo adjuster and...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

These are all good motors! Like the Chief, I plan to use the Power 32 as I have one already and it's
size fits perfectly under the rear bulkhead in order to allow mounting. I also tried the Power...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Wordy is correct about the power of epoxy. I do suggest to roughen up any surface that you want to epoxy
because it does add to the strength of the finished joint.

I am confident that you will...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Ken,

Good idea with your removeable wing mod. I would suggest that you use both of the metal
allignment tabs on the wing root as the leading and trailing edges of the wings need to be
properly...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

PT,

Since I used the plasticclevis, I take a little length of fuel tubing and place it so that it can not
open unexpectedly, as shown in the photos. It's just a little extra protection.

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

PT, there are several ways to mount aileron & flap servos in the wing and it basically depends on the type
of wing that your model has. With the thin wings of the Reaper and the plastic servo pocket...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Chief,

Nice work and I really like your mod on the motor mount. Now, I am certain thatwe aregoing to
learn a lot from the Crusty Chief.

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Chief,

That's unfortunate to have another delay on the Reapers. I sure hope that Nitro ordered a few
hundred or more! If I hear anything good to report, I will be sure to post it.

Also, It's...

I took a good look at the provided control rods and clevises and decided that they would be
more than adequate. I did, though, use asmall piece of fuel tubing to hold the clevisarms

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Mad Man,

E-Man is correct and his diagram is perfect. With the short control rods for both the ailerons and flaps,
be sure to attach the control horn so that the control rods are perpendicular to...

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Thanks E-Man, I just found the extra hinges and decided to use them as they were more
flexible than I had thought. I used four on the aileron and three on the flap. I used thin Zap

RE: NitroPlanes - MQ-9 REAPER

Not good! I know the feeling and it's not a good feeling! I'm sorry to hear about the sad situation.
Are the wings beyond repair? I hope so.

I am inclined to stay with the standard provided gear, at least for the final review and then
explore the option of electric retracts. There are several that I would consider, such as;
