Extreme wot 4

Hi
Slowly progressing with the build,  glued all the ailerons and flaps with supplied type robart hinges no problems. Fitting the flap and aileron servos to the mounts. The control horns were fitted with four screws but two of the screws supplied are two short to go through the ail/flaps balsa had to use some slightly longer screws from stock.  Looking at the clevisis they seem a bit cheap so replaced them with 3mm ball joints but that meant replacing the supplied push rods because they were to short with using ball joints.

Hi
Yes saw the video left the clevis in packet going down the route of using 3mm ball links throughout.
