Wing Servo Problems
I have recently acquired a cheap Dynam "I Can Fly" Trainer, and all is well with it accept for the main wing. That was busted and I had to order a new one. The problem here is, I am not sure what materials are needed to get it flying again.
As you can see, I drew in the missing pieces. The Red is the Servo linkages, or rods, and the blue is the servo mounts/horns. My concern is getting the right sizes, and parts for this specific plane. Website Links would be fantastic.
I am really a car guy, so please excuse my lack of knowledge with these things. This is my first plane, and it probably will be my last.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help.

Now, if I was to do it, I would use (2) servo's located at your blue dots. Cut a square out, glue servo in, run wires along slot to center section, use "Y" cable to hook up both servo's to ali channel on Rx.

I find that there is a radio control club in your area called "Wayne Modelers Club". Get on their web site and find out where and when they meet. Go to a meeting and visit about your problems. Take your plane with you. I'm sure they will be glad to help out.

Thanks buzz, and eagle for the quick responses. I like that idea of using two separate servos. The pictures are a great visual for me too.
My only question now is, where can I find those red connecting rods I have drawn in? You can see one rod in the first picture you linked me.
Yeah eagle, the Wayne Modeler's are great. I have been there a few times actually, and they're nice guys and always willing to help out. I unfortunately haven't had time to stop by though.
I appreciate all the Help, especially since these planes aren't my expertise.

Those are push rods. You can get a set at your local LHS or make them out of music wire.
I make mine out of carbon fiber, bamboo, dowels. I put a "Z" bend on one end, use a micro ez connector and you are all set.

Ah, great buzz, thanks for another quick response. Tomorrow I'll place an order, and hopefully be in the air soon.
I figured those might be something you would make, but I just wanted to know if you could purchase them as well.
Those EZ connectors are great, I used them for the other servo connections, and they're very convenient.
Thanks again guys, I am looking forward to finally getting some air time.

I acquired this plane from a family member who had thrown the wing away after it was busted. I took the plane, because I figured I could just order a new one, and it would have the parts already in it, so I'd be set to go. Since cars are my main hobby, I have very little knowledge on how to set these things up.
After I get these parts, I am looking forward to trying out another aspect of this Hobby.
