Really nice build. Are one or more servos binding, making that obvious noise? What is the power draw when not moving any surfaces, only listening to the sound of servo binding?
Nice work sir. I am building a P-51 Balsa Wood from scratch and I am to the point where I need to install my servos for my flaps and ailerons. What are the specs/manufacturer for yours? If you don't mind me asking. I have a 60 inch wingspan and will be installing retracts for my wheels as well. I am going to use a gas engine. I decided to go old school with this one. One thing the fellas down at the nearest hobby r/c shop said was that the balsa wood constructs as we are doing are a dying art. I hate to see that. I salute you on your craftsmanship.
Design and construction workmanship look really great. What model is this? Why place servos at end of the control surfaces rather than near the center? Again, really great looking work. Thanks for the video.
The model is from AMR-RC in Canada. I did the design for this model and other AMR-RC airplanes. I dont think they are still selling these models today… sadly…
Very nice worksmanship there. However, why didn't you put the single servo in the middle of the flap rather than from the end. Torque loads can cause enough twist to cause binding and misalignment. A servo at each end would be more robust and give smoother motion. I, also, don't like the sound of that servo buzz either.
