RE: top flight 182 skylane build
HM, yes the rudder & nose gear are both on the same servo. I built linkage just like the plans described. The servo sits on the left side & the elevator servo sits on the right side. There is very little load from the nose gear when on the ground & the rudder isn;t really doing anything and when it is in the air, all the load is on the rudder & nothing on the nose gear. I am using a Futaba 7 channel 2.4g radio adn futaba digital servos.
