Mini Linear actuators?
Interesting site. Wonder if anybody ever used these in a jet?

RE: Mini Linear actuators?
I am putting 4 100 mm servos into a P2V-Neptune. For those unfamiliar, it was a sub hunter and has 2 internal combustion engines inboard, and two turbines outboard. I am putting in 2 ASP 91s and 2 JetCat P20s. The flaps are rather unique and partly my design - aluminum rails and slots operating with a 12" radius curve. They're just like the full size aircraft's Fowler flaps and the Firgelli servos work just fine. I only have part of the wing built, but when the thing is more complete and working I'll post build pics on the short kit suppliers website (http://www.techlazer.com).

Many years ago this was the first type of servo, we had several crashes because the servo when jammed was jammed in both directions.
