Harley I am basically lazy. The best reason for using RADS at the slope is to preserve the servos.
Very little movement is typically needed. So here is the lazy man's way to do it. Apologies but to understand this you have to understand the RADS system first off Harley's site. That being the case (limited throw requirement) completely make the wing as normal (foam and glass not EPP) but with the trailing edge made with the rest of the wing. Cast a small slug at the hinge line going from one skin to the other with epoxy and West Systems light filler or something similar where you want the hinge bearing to be in the wing and the slot in the aileron. Make this as one slug of epoxy and filler by cutting out the foam after the glassing has been completed and fill it in with the epoxy filler slurry... Of course you would put it in from the bottom for looks. When you have determined where the drive should go drill through the slug vertically with a small drill (large enough to cut through and still be seen) for a marker on the hinge line. Now bandsaw the hinge line and finish it to your hearts content. Drill the hole towards the servo slot using the marker as your precision entry point.. Use a piece of wire through that and use your wire cutter current to make a cone from there to the servo (you have already cut the servo pocket). In the opposite direction you only need to take the dremel tool and make a slightly wider horizontal hole (for the pocket) with the drill of the size you are using for the drive at the same marker that you made originally.. Don't forget to make your holes as the instructions suggest in relation to the type of service. Now this will not work for flaps but is terrific for the limited throw of most ailerons. You have just created your pocket in the aileron and excellent bearing in the wing and a cone slot to get to the servo. Now carry on by bending your wire and sizing it to fit to the servo with the RADS driver already installed. Now my question Harley. Is there a source for buying the normal RADS bulk. 50-100 at a time Rick RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
