Default RE: PA Addiction X??

The next step for me was to get the elevator servo ready to install. The Pro kit came with some extra servo wire. I thought it should be an extention, but this will work. The instructions say you will need a 22.5 inch extention, so I cut 22.5 inches of wire and soldered it inbetween the servo and plug. I cut the servo plug wire about halfway down the wire, stripped and tined all the ends, got the heat shrink on the wires and soldered every thing together. I used the same method for installing the elevator servo. Drilled the holes with the servo in place using the Dubro tool. Removed the servo and CA'ed the holes. Re-installed the servo. I also used the same method on the servo controle rod. Gluing the plastic ball link first, then measuring and cutting to length. I ran the servo wire down the bottom first and that won't work due to the rudder pull pull. The elevator servo wire needs to run down the center of the fuselage. I zip tied it in a couple of places.
