Servo Mounting Method

Inside wing with horizontal path.

Servo Horn & Linkages

I was thinking we could 3d print horns and as for linkages I haven’t done too much looking.

Hinge Method

Custom 3d printed hinges using a Chicago bolt as the pin.

still a W.I.P specific dimensions have not been decided also feedback is appreciated :)

Something I forgot to add to the hinge page last time was hinge moment positions. Other than forum writers' opinions it doesn’t seem like one is better than the other. One point that did stand out to me though was that center hinge moment have the most material above and below them creating a stronger mounting area. Frise hinges help with adverse yaw but can be more complex and later in the page I talk about a simpler solution.

Sealing The Hinge Gap

When making the plane it is something we should look into. It doesn’t require much planning ahead but it can make a slight difference.

Aileron Location

Thoughts? I couldn’t find any info on the difference they make during flight.

Countering Adverse Yaw

Adverse yaw is the tendency of an airplane to yaw in the opposite direction of the turn. For example, as you roll to the right, your airplane may initially yaw to the left. The aileron angled downward (the left aileron in this example) produces more drag and more lift, initially yawing the airplane in the opposite direction of your roll.

As previously mentioned Frise ailerons can help reduce adverse yaw by making form drag to counter induced drag.
