Default RE: E-flite J-3 Cub 25 ARF

ORIGINAL: Tall Texan

I noticed with mine that the rudder does not want to come back to center due the flex in the tube/cable assembly. Where the instructions say to place the last brass clamp is apparently not far enough back towards the tail. However, when I look at it, there isn't enough room back there to mount the clamp there. Any suggestions as to a fix. Has anyone else noticed this or had this problem?
Looks like the cable comes in to the horn at an angle, putting things in a bind. You might cut a bit off the tube to expose more of the cable. Then bend the cable end to where it's parallel with the pushrod. This assumes (that word again) that the rest of the water rudder mechanism moves freely. How well does your rudder servo center otherwise?

BTW, I notice that there is only one water rudder. How well does the model turn to the side opposite the water rudder?
