Default GP Ultimate Bipe .40 + Saito .91?

Beardking,

I have three different aircraft with Saitos in each one; a Hog Bipe , a DHC Beaver on floats, and a scratch-built Spitfire. In each case I used a ball and socket system (similar to what heli flyers use). The ball is mounted to the throttle arm. I use a Sullivan Gold-N-Cable soldered into the brass threaded end they supply with the cable, but each end is trimmed as much as possible, both the soldered end and the threaded end. I only leave about 4-5 threads on it. The plastic socket that snaps over the ball is trimmed as well to just screw onto the threaded part of the brass end. This sounds alot more complicated than it actually is, so I've attached a photo of the finished cable. It should clarify everything. With this setup, adjustments must be made at the servo end.

Cheers!
