I don't do this just for fun, I had an objective!

I do not use Nyrods because I do know of the problems they can cause, as mentioned.
However, many people do use and like them. Otherwise they wouldn't still be available.

Those that were helpful on this thread I want to thank.

Status: offline 		I can honestly say that I'm glad this thread was started as it has helped me to gain a better understanding of how to properly trim out a plane, and had I had this information when I setup my first pattern plane, my scores would definitely have been alot better..... but instead of correcting the issue, I had to learn to compensate for the misalignments that I had in the plane. And running out of rudder when trying to do stall turns is not a good thing.............

I can now go back to my plane and attempt to correct some of the errors I made when putting this ARF together, and hopefully not have to fight the plane so much when I'm trying to do various maneuvers.........

Thank you for having this thread out here, and for all the comments and suggestions on how to correct these issues.

Nyrods, or Sullivan Goldenrods, ah... snakes.. are nylon rods that slide within a tube. They can be used as a replacemet for the dowels used on models to operate the control surfaces - rudder and elevator.

The above post probably points to a link showing what they are. If used properly, secured well within the fuselage, they work very well and are very light.
