The hinges are supported in the wing with 9mm dowel, and the hinge knuckle set back in the aileron to allow for correct rotation. The servo is mounted on 3 x 6mm spruce rails...

Wondering about the torque needed for the ailerons, if building the scaled down 1/5 Minimoa do I need to scale down the servo size, or is there enough gap between the ribs for the same Corona servos?

I used the same servos for the smaller version... Do you have the full set of build pix for the 5th Minimoa?

I've only seen the full build pics for the 1/4 scale. I bought RCME so have the build article for the 1/5 scale, and Sarik sent me a printout of the same article.

Dear Lord Chris. Have you not been to see your doctor about this obsession with Minimoas?
It does look very nice however!
Brian.
