Soon wings should be done, should I trim my servo arms? Or should they fit...
Why would you have to trim the servo arms? I don’t see any reason you’d have to.

When I measured it up it looked as if maybe it wouldn't fit. Simply bind up on the foam. Maybe my eye is wrong.

Here is what I mean. Is there a way around this?
You have at least 2 inches of clearance for the servo arms, so unless you have huge servo arms you should be fine.

The spar doesn't seem to have enough height to accommodate for the servo arm.
Oh, I see what you mean. The servos will be installed after you've built the wing. Then they will slide into the slots in the wing. If you want, you can watch the scout or cub build video since it's done the same way.

I have finished the wing. Finally had an opportunity to work on it this morning. Finished product pics coming soon.

I also figured out the servo thing. Thanks!

What landing gear setup do you use. I'm not great at landing on the type of ground we have here (bumpy grass etc...) so it needs to be strong.
If I were you I wouldn’t use gear then. Because of the swappable power pod it makes it hard to attach anything to it securely, however you can use rubber bands similar to how ft used them on their older models and that’ll keep it nice and soft.

I might do leave em off and make removable ones for when I head to the park where I can take of and land on concrete. I could take of our drive way though. Is it alright on STOL?

Also is there thrust angle pre installed in the power pod or is it not meant to have any? Or just trim it because its not a small plane.
If you put flapperons on it it’ll be great at STOL!
There’s no thrust angle needed.
