Dan, I know this was for Langford, but if you want a simple motorized system look at mine at this link: http://www.flykr2s.com/bellyboard.html

No, I'm not gonna put it on now, in fact, I am hoping for the first flight to be this weekend. Just planning for the future. Please put the other pics on your site, I would like to see them also. Dan From: "Mark Langford" <n5...@hiwaay.net> I used clamp collars made for machine shaft applications (www.mcmaster.com). Although I welded my bellcranks to these collars, you could also screw them together if you made your bellcrank cover one half of the clamp collar and used about four screws. You can see these clamp collar things at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kcontrol.html , along with the general idea of the flap torque tube. The very last picture shows the flap torque tube and flap actuator motor, but it eventually ended up under the pilot's seat. I have a more recent picture of the flap motor and bellcrank stuff somewhere that I'll try to dig up tonight. The other end of the torque tubes just extends out through the stub wing rib (which acts as a bearing), where another bellcrank and clamp collar setup translates the torque tube rotation into pushrod actuation for the flap bellcrank. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
