Re: Spitfire MK IV Gear & Flight Control Surfaces test Video
That is a great video Hank!
What operates the retracts? Is that pneumatic or electro-mechanical? I find this very intriguing. Do you have any build photos of the details of your setup for the control surfaces? I am curious to see how you did it

Please tell me more. I'm building a 1/5 scale VA hurricane now and that method is of interest to me

Re: Spitfire MK IV Gear & Flight Control Surfaces test Video
I noticed that both ailerons are hanging down, not good! To make the A/C fly nice and smooth you will need to rig in some differential aileron to prevent negative yaw. I am very interested in knowing how you rigged the flight controls without a bunch of horns and pushrods hanging out. Nice job!!!
