RE: A Flyin'King to a Flyin'Twin
BillH:
Thanks for the kind words. You can just barely see it, but the aileron servo is right next to the throttle servo.
Picture 1 is a better view of the servos, the throttle is a Futaba S3101 micro, the aileron beside it is a S148 with the EMS ball bearing conversion.
Picture 2 is a view from the rear showing the servos again, but what I want to show is the ball links on the push rod. Everything in the plane is totally ball linked except the throttles.
The airplane is eight years old, and I've never had an in flight failure - not even an engine out.
And the engines are a lasting testimony to Magnum, they are XL 46 engines. If I ever manage to wear them out (and not destroy the plane) they will be replaced with a pair on XLS 46s.
Picture 3 shows one of the things that has preserved them. They have never flown without their Bru-Line air filters. New element in the one shown, they turn black in service.
Rats. It's not letting me load the pictures, have to find out what's wrong. Don't really need pictures forthis one anyway, might get them up later.
Bill.
