RDS MISSION: "To make wings of RC aircraft clean, stealthy, more beautiful and without the parasitic drag of external hardware, to perform at their maximum aerodynamic potential". Review The Logic of RDS.

 

MECHANICS: A molded “Coupler” fastens to the output gear. A “Drive Shaft” with end bent extends into a “Pocket” in the hinged surface. As the servo rotates, the surface deflects. G2 parts are available from modeler-machinist Walt Dimick, dba IRF Machine Works, Inc.

Mounting servos between rails makes it easy to disconnect coupler from servo or shaft from coupler by sliding them apart ¼”.
