While at Oshkosh I saw a few done very nicely in this manner. I talked with Brent R. and he advised on the size being about 1" x 10" as his was only 8" and must have felt it was not optimum. Did the servo stay in the original location as my aileron already has the hole cut and nutplates done? Also, what was used for the hinge on the tab? Although I feel confident I can do this I am sure someone has learned a few tricks that could save me a pile of hours. Appreciate any input on this.
