skyhawk newbie:
Here a few photos of the new wing....
This photp shows how the wing looks , when put together ,
with the connector rod and the black crappy thin plastic that holds the servo in place ( no servo fited yet ) as I'm gona fit 2 servos into each wing half..
This shows the wooden connector...
This is where it sits in the other wing...
See where the wooden connector is...I wana remove that and fit a carbon fiber spar there instead...But how long ??? 12 " or the whole length of the wing...Where the servo mounting sits,I'll fit a thin Alloy plate...
Regards

Okay Sean,…….firstly let me tell you that those strange black & white circular signs are where the centre of gravity (balance point) should be.
That wooden connector is know as the ‘wing joiner’.
Now a couple of questions: :?
Why do you want to replace the wooden wing joiner?
Although it may have been a “slip of the tongue” but you said that you want to fit 2 servos in each wing half. (4 servos in all in the wing?) Did you mean that? :?: (Are you looking to produce what’s called a full house wing, with flaps and ailerons.)
Sorry about this but until we know what you’re trying to achieve there could be one of a dozen different answers to you questions.

Well if your gona do it , do it right the fist time...
Hi Keith
The reason I wana replace the wooden wing joiner and black crappy plastic ,
is because I've read ( on a USofA Flying forum there was old review (2007) of the SkyHawk Glider )
that the wing will flex or snap in the middle where the join is,in tight aerobatic turns....
So I'd like to sort this out before I get that far.....
Sorry "slip of the tongue"
what I ment was fit 2 servos for the ailerons..
one for each side...
Regards Sean
