			== Servo Specifications ==
			The wings have a max positive AoA of 9.5°, and max negative AoA of -7.5°. Note that the neutral lift axis is about -4.3°, so there is not much deflection downward. At the servo this translates to +15° and -12.5° of travel. for servo values +1650uS to -1375uS. Note that the sign is fliped on the other side as the servos are "mirrored". The rough speed of the wing is 0.4s/60°
