Test of operation was successful. Will need to spend some more time setting up the transmitter to get a small deflection at mid switch.

Laying out the same concept as I used on the inboard flap. This will use 1/16" G-10 and the overall size is smaller.

Receiver is a JR RG831B with Smart Fly Power expander Sport to isolate the servos from the receivers - Important here with the somewhat flaky electric gear. If one should short, it is dropped from the system and the receiver is unaffected.

One of the two speakers used for the sound. They are actually transducers and work very well.

Better shot of receiver setup. I use a JR 28X radio, so I have lots of options and a very solid system.

Repaired and corrected the flap, fixed ribs and stringers which were lost or damaged in storage. This has taken many more hours than if the flap had been built from scratch.

Begin skinning the flap. The servo attach point had to be modified to miss the wing when the flap rotated to 45 degrees.
