Ok so i am new to this forum and have been reading alot of the posts, many of which are fantastic and i have already taken the advice and loving it, first post so here i go. I have been flying my Cub for a short time now and absolutely loving it, i can do Loops, Stalls, Landings, Banks, small amount of inverted but being standard wing.... not for long, and the list goes on, i have adjusted my Control Horns to their limit, and adjusted the servo's to allow this, it responds alot quicker now, turns sharper, etc etc, but i feel for more, i know i am still learning and love the cub so my thoughts are as follows: - Install Ailerons.... - Install Ailerons.... - Install Ailerons.... Ok i think you get the hint, i want Ailerons, So i have been reading all the posts on this and decided i am going to do it, i am purchasing a standard Cub wing and going to flatten it and cut out the Ailerons, Now i only have 1 real question and that is this: What Control Horns are you guys using for your Ailerons? i have found Servo's etc but need to know the best for this, I am running the Super Cub DSM and the DX4 Transmitter which will eventually be upgraded to either the DX6 or DX8, So please people let me know what road to take, i am really looking forward to getting these setup. Inverted Flights, Rolls, etc etc cannot wait.

I cut big ailerons into my wing and love it! 12'' x 2'' I'm not sure on the need to flatten the wing, I think it would really reduce the structural integrity. i can roll, loop, screw through the air. It turns on a dime now and is super responsive. and just buy the same horns that the cub already uses,just use the closest hole to the aileron, and get the longest servo arms you can get, for max throws. and before you rig up some ailerons, have you considered a bomb drop? cut a hole in the side of your fuselage , and use some steel wire to make a little arm that goes in and out of the plane with the servo arm movement. on the other side have a piece of shoelace fastened to the plane , and a metal keychain ring not he other end, the servo and wire arm release the ring, and whatever you have strapped underneath . I used sharpie markers with cardboard fins hot glued on. and EGGS! I haven't posted a picture yet but I will!
