It seems as though a Rotary Drive System would be ideal for a flying wing/combat ship. Harley Michaelis says it's been done. Here's the questions that come to mind (understand I've never seen an LDS before):
1) It seems as though the drive rod extending from the servo would have to be placed in a groove cut into the foam. If the servo is placed in the normal far-forward location, it seems like the groove will nearly sever the wing. Slap some filament tape over the groove to reinforce? Move the servo closer to the elevon? 2) It also seems that the drive rods are usually fairly short. In the flying wings, the servo is far from the control surface. Longer rod = more twist. What rod is required to minimize twist? 3) The drive rod is designed to go into a thicker control surface than the flat elevons used on Zagis and the like. Any special slick tricks to make the pocket? I could probably figure this out, but if anyone has done this, could you tell us what is involved?
