I'd finished the constructing the Walrus - pretty much straight forward with a robust glued tail section and screwed-in wings.
Having previously had issues with servo centring, I left off connecting the control rods until I got it powered up so I would know where middle is. I consistently find this to be a problematic stage despite its innocuous appearance.
The Walrus servo arm positions aren't quite lined up, more of a problem on flaps which don't have side-to side-trim. For these, I adjusted the control arm length to suit, not ideal though because different crank positions have different travel distances (that whole sin/cos story...). It's less troublesome on ailerons fortunately as these have trim adjustment available.
So far I've done the flaps and ailerons, now for the elevator and rudder. I'm sure they'll be simple. Please...?
