Hello All! I have a newly built set of sa7035 HLG wings that I am going to install ailerons/flapperons this weekend. A lot of stuff I have figured out from articles and archives, but I want to get confirmation that I have this figured out correctly. Also I have some throw questions.
I plan to cut the ailerons to about a width of 23% of root chord (1.6" on 7" root chord). I will also put in trilerons since I saw them on the Texas Twister and they looked nice and effective. I haven't chosen a servo yet, but was expecting to use cs21bb servos. Should I get MG servos since I will be flapping them? (flapperons that is) Do they make MG servos that small? I will cut out servo bays somewhere aft of the spar, and a couple of inches from the center. (Or should I place them further outbound?) I will glue (epoxy) in a thin ply base and glue in the servos with the arms outboard and aft on each wing. Here is where I am a little light on knowledge. I figure that in order to have more travel in the flap direction, I probably have to center the servos, then put the servo arms on off center - my guess is canted towards the TE. How much throw should I set up and down for the ailerons, and how much droop should I expect from the flaps of a top-hinged flapperon wing? Is there anything I forgot? Thank you for your help.
