Wow to cool ! now ya gotta tell ! how'd ya do it ?
There really wasn't a lot to it but I can try and take a picture or two this week. I didn't take many during the construction but its very straight forward.
I used a 2-56 thread rod epoxied into his head, then ran that through a carbon tube in his body down through the floor. The rod was nice to hold while painting the head too.
I just ran the carbon tube down below the floor far enough to clear the pull-pull cables. On the thread rod I added a nylon control arm and connected it to a mini servo slaved off the aileron channel.
I did need to sand a little around the base of his neck as well as inside his collar to allow the head to turn. Also the carbon tube extends a fraction above the body so the head pivots on the carbon tube and not on the body.
I'll see if I can post a pic or two this week.
