This is how I plan to install the aileron servo in a direct drive ,  knowing that the original Dalotel has trim tabs in both ailerons, and these are also used as boost tabs which helps tremendously the servos, I beleive the servos will be plenty powerful, 

Hey Roger this one is comming along nicely.

I am courious as to how you are going to mount the servo body to keep it in place?  By this piture I would be a little concerned about it ripping out by the torque forces of the control surface.

Good point Matthew, 

I will be showing this soon, just waiting for the torque rod bearings, but for the servo to rip out, the rear spar will have to break which is not likely to happen, but I will show soon

this is how the servo mount will be like for the aileron

 

[Forgues-Research]

Just received the servo system I will be using for the retracts which has 3400 oz of torque (212 lbs)

the ailerons are coming together, hope the video is OK, I'm not very good at videos Forgot to mention, the servo in the video is not the one I will be using, I'm waiting for the OmG  Brushless, high voltage,  450 oz servo

Pretty slick setup there bud. Maybe one day I will be half as smart as you.

Amazing work! I love every detail...and don't be so hard on yourself re: the video...it was better than just a still photo!

Thanks my friend, but I'm not that smart, LOL

My 5 year Laser 200, highly modified has had its last flight , too delicate to continue with it , so I decided to build another Dalotel in parallel  with the big Dalotel, this one will only have 100" wing span so I can use all the electronics including the electric motor  of the Laser

This will not be a competition scale airplane. It will be standoff scale only, so I can practice all of the maneuvers I will need to do with big one at competition time

Hey there is 24 hours in a day right? might as well put them to good use LOL

Damn you probably should take at least a 2 hr nap everyday 

Is there going to be a build thread?  If so i will be watching
