I’ve built the OLYII three ways. 

1.      With servo in fuselage, spoilers activated by strings as shown on plans.  Spoilers seldom closed properly, and a hassle to hook up at the field.  Very inexpensive

2.      Servo in fuselage.  Spoilers hooked up with Very Flexible Sullivan control cables.  Works very well, spoilers open and close in a very positive manner.  Still a hassle to hookup at the field. Slightly more expensive, but much better than option 1 (above).         

3.      Hitec HS80 in each wing.  Hooked directly to Servo.  Y harness to hook to throttle (spoiler) channel on four channel receiver.  Works best, Easy hookup at field.  Most expensive.

 

Hope this helps.  Good Luck,  Happy New Year

 

Jack

has anyone built an olympic 2 with the spoiler option ?  i want to add them while i'm building the plane and was wondering if the design on the plans is the best way to go with the servo in the fuselage . i thought it might work better to put the servo in the wing ! any thoughts on this?
