dual aileron servos on a balsa usa stick 40 plus
I'm building a Balsa USA Stick 40 Plus.I saw elsewhere on the site that the wing needs some re-enforcement .I was going to use Fiberglass tape on the center section anyway but I'm also going to use shear webs.My question is,Iwant to eleminate the aileron linkage on the plans (nyrods with a single servo In the center section)to dual servos one in in each wing.What's your opinion?I'm going to use either standard 'Hitec servos or HS-81"s.Whats the best way to route the servo wires through the wing/?I was going to lay string in the rib bays to pull the cables through after covering.Any other suggestions?This is my first post onthe site so be gentle

HS-81s might be a tad on the fragile side for a .40 sized fast aileron. The standard servos will probably stand up to the beating better.
For routing the wires from the servos, I roll up paper into tubes a bit wider in diameter than the servo plug, and pull the wire thru with the string.
Mount the servos about 2 bays out each side for best resistance to any flutter.
Other than that, plain common sense works well in mounting the things. No binding etc.
