Control Surface dimensions

Anyone have the control surface dimensions for the Northrup P61?

The quickest way might be asking your modeler (Robert?) for some measurements from GMax.

Or take 'em from the blueprints, but this might require some proportional calculations.

Whilst 'America's Hundred Thousand' details the P-61, for some reason, it doesn't include the control surface dimesions as it does for all other aircraft it includes.

Your best bet is to get it from the P-61 Erection & Maintenence Manual.

I so far haven't been able to find a free copy on the web.

Cheers

Just wanted to check to see if the measurements I have are accurate. Hope some one comes through......

Depending on what you want them for, it is important to remember that the roll control was primarily from the spoilers and the ailerons were small and mostly to give feel and feedback to the controls.... And provide lateral trim.
