See these attached photos of the top and bottom aileron skin measurements for the trim tab and motor.

The plans call for 145mm from edge of trim tab cut out to the bottom row of holes in the servo, ...

Looks like I'm going to start over from the Tab cutout measurements, then from the center measure the rod distance to get the location of the servo. From there locate the L angle braces, then once th ...

The plans don't appear to be completely accurate, if you cut out the access panel hole as per the plans dimensions the cover plate will extend over the aileron spar bottom edge. I just shifted the ac ...

It's the "new guy" again,

Greetings, my first post from a new 650 builder,
