RE: Naruke's new design - the Aiolos
Ok, you want a build thread, here it is.
The wing & stabs' servo installation are done. Instead of using the horns/ rod ends/ clevises that came with the plane, I chose to use my own parts from Japan. I must stress that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the supplied hardware. As a matter of fact, they are equally as good. However, I'm just used to the one that I've been working with.
The wing installation is very straight forward, but the stabs are slightly tricky. Since I couldn't find any opening inside the stab for the servo lead to go through to the exit hole to connect to the extension lead, I have to cut one myself. Not a big deal, just require some thinking. In order for the elevator push rod to line up properly with the horn, I raised the servo slightly by installing two pieces of 1/16 light ply at both ends between the servo & the mounting bracket.
Next step, the fuse ...
