Default RE: Round rudder servo arm


ORIGINAL: nonstoprc

Todd has an elevator setup where the duel servos are at the center section of the fuse and two thin CF rods are making the direct connection.

Seems one can do the same for rudder? That is, no pull-pull but a long CF rod passing through several balsa ''bushing'' plates.

Not to argue that pull-pull is not ideal for pattern but like to bounce a potential different setup idea.
This sounds very similar to the Central Hobby DEPS set-up, but with 2 servos. I have used the single-servo DEPS and it works fine but was a little trickier to set up than I expected.

Now, I like the 2 mini's in the stabs.

I have seen Dan Landis' 2-servo set-up he (and some others) are using for the split rudder on the Passport. He uses 2 mini's flush-mounted in the fuse under the stabs.

With 2 servos on a conventional rudder with pushrods, it might take a bit of mixing to keep the servos from working against each other.
