Servos integral to surfaces?

Obviously not.

I was talking in the RCgroups. Was not meant to be here.

I did something like this on a flying wing, the results suffered a bit because the surface used only a small portion of the servo's range, maybe 30%, and the pcm resolution was a little on the coarse side. On a lathe I made fittings which attached to the servo control wheel, then to a short torque tube directly into the elevon. It's still the ideal setup, however, especially for applications where the servo's designed travel is just exactly happens to be what you want. (the arrangement is a doesn't give you too many options) The flying wing, with tip "drag rudders" was totally cool, and had no adverse yaw using rudder/aileron mixing, but it met its demise during our recent house makeover, with a falling 2 x 4 taking out one whole wingtip, with a sickening crunch. -Paul
