James,
Man, where were you before I built this Samurai? Although I'm using servos
with something like 100 in-oz torque (BB-MG), it looks like I screwed up
when I created that nice "high-gloss" painted surface. Yes, and I used the
balsa leading edge as well. My 9-y-o son was messing with the wing and has
already put a dent in it and I haven't even flown it yet. I'm currently
building a lighter tail.
Okay, I'll take out the rubber grommets. I was going to use the brass
couplers but I'm reconsidering that now.
Thanks for all the great info,
Curt Thompson

BE VERY careful not to screw up the longitudinal balance of the
wings. If
the trailing edge of the wing starts to get heavy the wings WILL
flutter.
The location of the pivot point in the wings is a very close
compromise
between the ability of a servo to move the wing under load and to
not have
flutter.
