Peter Miller Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 You could fit separate aileron servos. You can quite fafelt use Supertec Mini servos or Mini L servosThese are smaller that the standard servo but have slightly more power. I use one in the middle so the two would be more than enough.

GRAHAM DAVIES 2 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just a quick query , I was wondering what glue you used to build the prototype ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I always use Deluxe Products Aliphatic Resin. I use a very small amount of 5 minute epoxy for one ot two jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i'm just debating just how good this idea that guy, sorry i don't remember your name about that funfly thing with all these planes lined up in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shiell Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi all,My Denight had her first flight today. She few really well. The slippery design makes landings interesting as she goes on and on. I only flew once as I had a couple of glitches that need to be investigated. Picutures and video were taken which I will upload once I have them.STATS:Weight 4 1/4 lbCoG at the forward position on planSC 36 engine Now what to build next. Thinks its going to be the Hurricane from the special issue. Thanks Peter for a great little aircraft.Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi all, I'm about to fit the Ailerons and wing together on my Denight Special. Instead of using the bellcrank system shown in the plans, I'm looking at using micro servos on each side,however, I'm unsure of the torque size I would require to drive the Aileron. Instead of trying to work out all the calculactions etc, is there a rule of thumb that can be applied or Is this something I need worry about on this model. Any constructive advice would be appreciated, Ref: sites for servos etc. Regards Jim , Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 These days there are a lot of small servos that have as much torque as a standard servo. I would suggest that you use metal geared micro servos as knocking an aileron can strip a gear and ruin a days flying. I buy mine from Storm_trade on Ebay. The sell singles twos, threes and fours with savings for the higher numbers. I have just used four in my latest model for ailerons and flaps and will be using four more in my current project.
