G'day Paul
My setup is very different. I have inboard flaperons actuated via internal rods, 1 servo per side. Then to the flaps that extend via screwjacks and drop via mechanical linkage. The screw jacks run forward as well to deploy leading edge slats. Finally the 6 spoilers are actuated via an internal rod system. They are not above the flaps, they are just aft of the wings max thickness.
Each wing has 1 servo for flaperon, 1 servo + a screwjack for flaps/ slats, 1 servo for spoilers and a servo for the outboard ailerons.
I was dying for a while working out how to do this and had a eureka moment after much beer. I have taken a modular approach so all the bits are built off the wing then just drop in to pre prepared spaces on the wing frame.
It actually turned out to be fairly easy. No idea how you would do this on a pre built wing though?
