Hi Guys, Thanks alot for all your inputs, i will go with using the two servos then if this is the modified wings that were supplyed by Hanger 9, ive flown mostly Ziroli size warbirds, and this is my largest airobatic model ive owned, this is 97" ive got a 3W 70cc for it with smoke, i will try to post some photos of it and the underside of the wing showing the twin servo arangement.

H9 Extra 330 1/3/scale servo problem???
Hi Guys, Ive picked up a s/h Hanger 9 Extra 330, in the wings it has holes for 2 servos per wing, on the H9 website and on a few vids ive watched on Youtube it only shows 1 servo per wing, so problem ive got is knowing if its been modified? do i fit 2 servos per wing or do i fit 1 and cover the holes over?? i plan to use Futaba 9402 coreless servos, i dont fly 3D, just basic aerobatics.......what do you think i should do?? Dave.

Hi Graham, Your FW190 is coming on well!, do you think you will get it ready for flying this year? have you decided on a power plant for it yet? radial would be nice but the cost is a bit much!! Do you plan to go to many fly-ins this year? Dave.

Ive ordered the kit, but they need to cut it and the lead time is 4-6 weeks. In the meantime Im prepping the build area and reading up on the plans/instructions/other build threads. I really cant wait to start, its a completely different part of the hobby that Im entering and Im really excited about it. [/quote] Hi jwalsh1, That is the best thing to do! while you wait for the wood kit to turn up, have you ordered the stringers and sheeting too? if not you will need to work out how much of that you will need so you can get started straight away! have you got any retracts? did you order the cowl, canopy and plans also? Im watching this thread, im quite a way through my build but ive always got an interest!! Keep up the good work! Di n Dave....

RE: Ziroli F6F Hellcat Builder's Diary
Hi Mirce, Nice glass fuz will make the build a little quicker!! In the photo of the underside of the wing i notice you have the flap servos with the lincage on oposite sides of the servo, this will make one flap go up and the other go down unless you use a servo reverser! you need to move one servo over and move the lincage to the same side as the other one, they will both go the same way at the same time. Keep up the good work, Di n Dave...

I take it you are following a previous build by somone else, my friend had a problem with the dive brakes, they kept warping and going out of shape, i think the answer would be to use glassfibre sheet on these surfaces..
