Destroyer of Airplanes

My Feedback: (25)

Zippi,


I used golden rods for my linkage. Before I removed the stabilizers I drew a pencil line along the bottom of the wing. Before I cut the hole in the fuselage I epoxy and glassed the balsa where he penetration would go. Notice I used masking tape on the tube since epoxy will not bond to the nylon tube. I also made four mounting plates for each tube to attach to the internal members to keep the flexing to a minimum. The left servo moves the right elevator. The cross over angle is so shallow it lines up perfectly with the control horn on the elevator and has no binding. It was easier for me to install the mounting plated since I have the gunners cockpit opened up and the aft fuselage bulkhead removed. All I have left to do is cover the holes in the bottom of the stabs and a little painting. Hope this helps.
