Anyone have the dimensions (area) of the control surfaces for this plane? Also, specs on the range of movement of the flaps, ailerons, rudders, and elevator. Thanks!!!!

The one it's easy to tell from the drawings is that it has nearly full-span flaps; not so easy is that it used spoilers for roll control. Some aircraft that use spoilers for roll control have small ailerons to provide "feel"; the P-61 did not have those.

Another user, superkeith1872, posted the flight manuals, which may have that information. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/ot...-29-p-61-flight-manuals-29422.html#post794826

The P-61/B had smaller size ailerons, that the P-61/A. Also on the P-61/B, the trim tabs where
removed. So if you are building a P-61/B you will need to fill in this area.

I have some detailed line drawings of the aircraft,if this would help let me know.
