Construction Notes and photos

Wing Servos and RDS

The wing servos are “hidden” inside the wing cavities created for this purpose. The linkage goes into the RDS mechanism.

In this photo you can see the RDS linkage show thru the Flaperon hinge when the Flaperon is being deflected.

Wing Pylons and Ballast

This photo shows the wing pylons, as they extend from the bottom of the wing. Along with them the connector for the wing electronics.
