  Wing Servos and Canopy Latch  
 

Just when you thought I was done.

The wing servos are pretty standard, I’m using Hitec 5945 dig. The servo frames are a new item. There from Germany and Craig Greening is the US distributor at http://www.servoframes.com/ these are for JR but you can modify to fit Hitec. I really like these because you can easily remove the servo.

On to the Canopy Frame, the latch and pull are made from a latch you can get at Hobby Lobby.

  
         
    Servo frame from http://www.servoframes.com/. Its a JR 8411 frame modified to fit Hitec.

 
         
    I use carbon mat to reinforce the wing skin.  
         
    Here is a Hobby Lobby canopy latch part nr. GR8066 solder a piece of brass to the lever to recive the cable. I made a ply wedge stand off and glassed the latch in place. Use a micro cable and tube drill a hole in top of the landing gear bulkhead and CA the pushrod housing.  
         
    Exit the tube and cable out the bottom of the wing fareing CA the other end of the tube and cut off. Sauder a brass ball link to end of the cable about 1/2" inch.
