I am a product of tradition and just like when 2.4ghz started people were very reluctant to switch over. It could be a solid design for this application, and if it does work its kinda a good thing since you lose some weight from the wood/bearings of traditional setups.

After long thinking I decided to go original application.
But there is still remained thing to be solved. I just try it.

Hi

here are couple photos to show the new set up on elevators.

Thanks
James


Hi james, The basic idea on the elevators is good, but the geometery could be better. For me the pick-up point on the servo would have to be much further back (or forward) from the pivot point on the elevator ideally at least halfway between pivot point and trailing or leading edge to give a much greater mechanical advantage to the servo.

The only downside would be you might see the 'curved slot' above and below the elevator because your moving away from the thickest part of the surface (pivot point)

Cheers
          john

If you cant get enough movement with the servo further away, then for me it's not a viable way of doing things.

I really hope the smal F-18 doesnt have this set-up, if it does and i cant modify it, it's a deal breaker.

The more i think about that part of the design i like it, but i personally feel the bearing on the shaft is better. Over time there will be some wear, dirt and g loading is normal wear.
