nice looking little aircraft.
the sliding servo is unusual, but i suppose before mixes it was how things were done.

Of course, Garry was a boy then, aside from me he's about the only other one who'll remember!
Back on topic, that fuselage looks the bees knees, is that paint or cover of some kind?
Do it now, you may never get another chance

Haha, some "Boy" Klippy, I was 34 yrs old then, however, I do remember the sliding servo system, and the black and red servos, even remember the rubber driven escarpments . Some BOY, but thanks for the compliment Klippy
Anyhow, I have "modded" myself, so back on topic , Lovely model Ron, well built and covered. A great thread

Thanks for the comments,
Regarding the angle of the V, I actually thought the same so I double checked it on the plan and it's spot on, maybe it was intentional, not sure. At least it won't be too sensitive.

Regarding the mechanical mixers, there were two other options - one was a pair of 180 bellcranks on a common pivot mounted in a rocking frame pivoted at the bottom, which was screwed to the fuselage.. The top of the frame was coupled to the elevator servo, and the top of the two bellcranks coupled to the two sides of the aileron (or flap) servo. the bottom of the two bellcranks then connected to the surface. You would probably have to draw it out to see how it works.
The other way I still have an example of -
It follows the same principle, the triple ball can turn with the aileron servo, or rock with the elevator servo, or of course, both at once! The centre ball connected to the elevator servo, and the two outers to the control surfaces.
The sliding servo method was prone to be very sloppy in operation.
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

...And it looks like the model is going together very quickly, too!
