Lancer, I found some helpful photos of a Citation-II that was for sale at http://www.ridgeaire.com/products.php?id=65 it is clear that the engine pylons are at the same dihedral as the wing, and viewed from the bottom the flaps have the same chord as the ailerons, I'd really like to see the flaps up close and in person some day. even though for my RC model I will probably use Robart hinges (with the hinge point below the wing/flap, so it won't be faithful in that respect) I am still curious what the flap extension mechanism is on the full s

Lancer, as long as we're on a roll..., you mentioned that the Hasegawa kit's aileron and/or flap lines aren't correct, can you say what the real chord width of the ailerons and flaps are ? thanks again, Peter A Lawrence.

Lancer, oops, forgot this other fine-point, are the engine pylons on a dihedral (4-deg, to match wing?), or are they flat ? thanks, Peter A Lawrence.

Lancer, really appreciate the link to your Citation-II conversion project. I've been wondering how to get in contact with a Cessna maintenance person for real dimension information, but here in the USA airport security makes that nearly impossible :-) !!! your project leads me to the question - when did the wing get lowered, btwn Fanjet-500 and Citation-I, btwn Citation-I and Citation-II, or some time else ? I am hoping you can confirm or correct these dimensions I have scoured the internet for: Fanjet/Citation I/II/S-II/V all have same 64" diameter f

I have assembled the Hasegawa kit, and taken some measurements, amazingly the airfoil (as measured with my Starrett height gauge) checks out as NACA 23014 ! that was very encouraging, but then... the wing and fuselage are nearly identically long, which means it would be a model of the Cessna Fanjet-500 rather than the Citation-I which has a wing span larger than the fuselage length, would anyone care to comment on this or any other observations ? Also, I am thinking of using this model as reference for a fine-scale scratch-build RC airplane,
