Flaps
⃞
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a servo mounting screw into each of the pre-cut
holes in the servo mounting rails in the wing. Remove the screw and apply a small
amount of thin CA to each of the holes to harden the threads cut by the screw. Do not
use CA accelerator. Let the CA fully cure before moving forward.
⃞
2. Secure a 9-inch (230mm) servo extension for to two of the Flap servos. Use Flex Servo
Connector Safety Clips (FPZA1040), heat shrink tubing or thread to secure the
connection.
⃞
3. Insert the Flap servo into the servo bay with the output shaft towards the leading edge of
the wing. Be sure to route the servo lead out of the wing before mounting the servo.
Mount the servo to the wing using the servo mounting screws provided with your servos.
⃞
4. Use your radio system to center your flap servos. Install your flap servo arm onto the
servo as close to parallel with the hinge line as possible. Apply blue thread lock to the
servo arm screw and fully tighten the screw. If your servo arms have output shaft
clamping screws, apply blue thread lock, and secure them in place at this time.
⃞
5. Using a pushrod with a length of 3.5 inches (90mm), assemble the flap linkages so that
the total length from center of ball to center of ball is approximately 112mm. Note that
the opposite ends of each flap linkage have opposite direction threads.
⃞
6. Attach the linkage to the servo arm. The correct hole location is 2-inches (50.8mm) from
the center of the servo arm. If using the recommended 2-inch servo arm, this is the
outermost hole.
Quique’s Tip:
In order to get the best performance out of the RV-8 70cc FLS, I recommend the use of a Live Wing,
which mixes the flap servos with the ailerons to get a full-span aileron. The flap surface and servo
centering is different than in traditional flap setups, so be sure to follow the next steps closely.
⃞
7. With the radio powered on and the servo centered with the arm parallel to the hinge line,
adjust the linkage length so that the flap is even with the aileron at its neutral position.
This will allow for the flap to travel in both up and down directions. When satisfied with
the length of the linkage, secure the linkage to the control horn with the hardware in the
following order:
o
M3x15 Socket Head Cap Screw
o
M3 Washer
o
Control Horn (Side 1)
o
Ball Link
o
Control Horn (Side 2)
o
M3 Washer
o
M3 Lock Nut
