Servo of the T2 is placed behind the main spar so leadingedge won't work.
A hadge through the bottom is probably the best.

I ended up cutting a hatch top and bottom to replace a servo in mine. I was unable to get the RDS coupler to come loosed from the servo shaft, so kept the top part of the old servo, with the body of the new one. I wasn't able to manipulate the servo out while attached to the RDS shaft with only a single hatch. Worked well in the end, and the wing repair came out ok, but not perfect.

thanks guys I got the servo out through the bottom only. Now Alex do I have to use the metal gear servo or will the SCD work? which one did you install"stock"?

Had a breakdown on one of my RDS servo's.. Sometimes when I had full flaps down one aileron didn't come up again. But lately the problems got worse. Even when steering normal this occured as seen in this video:

Twister II RDS Problem.. (0 min 38 sec)

I took the servo out of the wing. The casing was cracked at the point where there is a little steel wire to hold the servogears in place. Because I'm leaving to france wednesday and I didn't have a replacement servo on stock I decided to repair the servo.

I glued the case back together with CA, after that put dyneema wire (non strech fishing wire) around it and secured it with ca. Damn, it even worked. glued the servo back in and everything is back to normal for now. At least I can use it as a backup plane for the next eurotour contest in france

Good job on the repair! If it can be repaired, no need to replace! Good luck in France.

Thanks,, I'm already happy the rds is working again. Good luck in france? Won't need it, I'll end low in the rankings anyway

hi guys,
i'm just getting started building one of these.
i seen this in the instruction on Atlanta Hobbies website.
it says;

the fin has a asymmetric airfoil, and needs to be mounted 0.6 degrees out of line
(for right handed flyers nose to the right)

what does this mean to do, or how do i mount it then ?

thx,
dave

Hey Dave,
Ref attached picture of jig. Looking from the top of the fin/boom it's installed at an angle to the boom center. For a RH thrower the leading edge will be favoring the right wing. For LH thrower the opposite applies. Its very slight but purposeful.
Bob

hey, thx bob.
that makes sense now, because of the airfoil the LE will be off to the one side a tad.
but the fin is still straight, correct ?

pics are always a bonus. i appreciate you taking the time.

dave

Correct. Hinge line square w/boom, fin perpendicular.
