UPDATE ON FUNCTIONAL COWL FLAPS:
Last Monday I received the Fuselage from Motion. I proceeded to remove 2mm from the faux cowl flaps. In my design there is a channel for the music wire to operate the flaps. The channel is an additional 4mm which I needed to remove to have the cowl flaps to be flush with the fuse/cowl. When removing the additional 4 mm I went through the foam. I"ll need to redesign the cowl flaps. At a loss right now as to how to get them to work.

PS: I've has the flu for the last 3 days which has hapmered my progrtess.

Is it just me being the unlucky one? My Freewing Corsair 1600mm Corsair is magnificent in many ways.....but the Freewing 17g servos, in my experience, do it no favours. In my plane they simply do not centre adequately from opposite directions, and the fine trimming is let's say....a bit ragged. Is this just me??? Two servos have been removed from the model and tested with a different Rx with the same result. Other Rx's (albeit just literally a couple of pounds more expensive) have been pretty good at centering in the same set up. Particularly on the elevator, where a very small throw is required, I found it really irritating in the air. Am I an isolated case????

Here they are out of the bag- roughly 54mm or just over 2 inches long.
Maybe for the struts as a spare set or different spring rate than stock?
