Default RE: Building my first Jet. Viper 2m questions.

ORIGINAL: furycham

Hi guys,

As title says this is my first jet and have some questions on the building.

The jet is a Viper 2m and I am done with the servo installation of stabs, ail and flaps but have some questions and hope you can help me.

1. What is the best way to mount a regular size servo on the rudder? The space inside is so tight, what have you done to fit it in? Pics will be great!!
2. I am a little worry about toasting the tail servo extensions(stabs & rudder), what have you used or how you route them to prevent burning them? Pics will be great!!
3. Is it mandatory to use the springs or elastic band to tension the steering cable?
4. How to program the 14mz to center the steering wheel before retracting it? How to stop the steering servo after retracting it?

Thanks a lot for your help and patience.

Regards,

Vic

Look at post #308 & #312 if you want an alternative method for doing you nose steering...I hate cables!


Post #322 for the rudder.... p.s. a HS 5225 works great for the rudder and Elevators
Post #325 & #331 for the servo extension routing
Post #357 for battery mounting
