this video was absolutely interested and even though I will never build a B 36 bomber I learned a lot but those flaps and everything looks awesome , but what I'm excited about is when you do talk about wing washout which was something I never knew about , and now since I think back to both of the B-17s that I built from Royal kits that would explain why both of them basically crashed in the same manner because they were uncontrollable , but now since I am building the B-29 from Don Smith's plans I could never figure out what it meant for a +2.5 incidence on till now that this refers to wing washout , so this is something that I am learning and I so glad that you are going to take the time to teach us what this really means and how important wing washout is to a large scale model plane but thank you so much for everything you do by making these videos .
The person who bought it was going to make a static model out of it. It was to be hung in an aviation-themed bar. But, COVID stalled his plans, I have not heard from him in over a year now. Make me wonder where it is. :)
I would think a "linear" servo would always have some type of load on it. Which in that type of servo should be okay. When I have a servo move 180 degrees, there is very little to no load at 0 degrees and 180 degrees. So I don't think it would matter much. :)

I followed this project for years on the RC Forum. Whomever purchased the aircraft, are they going to complete it and fly it?

Any possible advantage or disadvantage to using linear servos for flaps..?
