"9-Ounce" servos? Didn't you mean 9 grams? I have some servos of that weight, and they're referred to as "Nano" Servos.
That aside, I just bought this plane, not realizing that it was a 3-channel (no ailerons) model. I was about to exchange it for a 4-channel, but couldn't find anything comparable in size and price that has 4 channels. A quick Google search brought me to your video, and I would like to thank you for your excellent tutorial, and for convincing me that I can do this modification.
Thank you so much for posting these videos! I have been wanting to put alerons on my plane I just didnt know how. I just have one question for you and that is how did you make your hot knife?
Can you give me some more info on the servos used? Is there a model or stock number?

If I were to do this, would you recommend cutting a smaller aileron and along with flaps or going with a bigger ailerons but do flaperons

Excellent series of videos. Very helpful. One question though, where did you get the blade for your hotknife? I can't seem to find one anywhere..

A year later, and it doesn't look like anyone else is going to answer... so...
I was going to try bending a piece of 14-gauge (or maybe 12) copper wire, and putting it on a soldering gun similar to the one in the video.
