I was just wondering if any of you know wether this Ideas will work or not. I plan on putting my servos laying sideways and plan on having the control rod or linkage go from the top of the wing shape to the bottom of the trailing edge to the bottom of the control serface. I also plan on putting a little differencial in each ailerons (more down throw then up) I'm thinking this will really help in hiding the control horn and linkage to help make it better for a scale look. Am thinking about possibly using the tourque rod system. My servos are rated at about 104 oz. tourque at 4.8 volts. Metal gears and are High Teck servos. Any input from you guys will help.

I did this in my smaller TF P47. Works fine, but REALLY fiddly when I had to disconnect the arms/clevises from the aileron servos to adjust the throws (couldn't remove servo/hatch until disconnected pushrod, whilst still trapped inside the wing...).
Make sure you allow for easy adjustments. Also make the horns reasonably long still - probably need pushrod to come out of the lower skin before the TE to achieve this.

Laird SS Your rite I do have it a little (****wkcab). I'll try to do better next time. But I think you got the idea though. Just trying to hide some of the control wires to have a little more scale look. Camdyson yes I do know this and I hope it works just as good as I think it will look
