ChrisSpad -> DPS tail question (12/24/2002 5:47:00 AM)

I'd skip on the nylon bolts. The tail on the DPS is bolted through one of the sides of the fuselage, and will work great where it is. Won't effect flight one bit.
But, if you really want it mounted in the center, i'd use the corners of a piece of scrap pvc to make an L bracket. Take a look at the debut plans to see what i mean. That would center the tail, but, its really not necessary.
As far as a pull pull on the rudder, you could do that as well, but, there is a problem. The tension from the pull pull cables makes the hinge line mush, and over time it wont center well. If you have to have a pull pull, i highly suggest cutting the rudder off, and reinstalling it with hinge point hinges, glued in with goop, or welder, or ca, or polyglue.
Servo installation is whatever works well for you. I set mine up on my DPS with both of them zip tied to the side of the fuselage. Take a look at the demon plans to see what i mean.
Dual aileron servos are a blast on the dps, couple the elevator to the flaps, just like on a funfly, and its a hoot. One note, though, don't attempt to deploy them as flaps alone. The tail moment is very short, and the flapperons tend to act more like elevons, and overpower the elevator, resulting in a nose dive, However, for hovering, flapperons coupled to the elevator work great.
