Hi,
I have Top-Flite's Cessna 182 (kit) with Robart strutand I have issues with the way how the control horn is attached to servo arm. On top of the strut, there is a threded wire (cca 1-1/5") where plastic bracket is screwed. In this bracket is a small metal cylinder with hole that accepts push rod from the servo arm. I have flown with this setup twice and since I am beginner, my landings are not so soft like pro's landings. The plane did two or three jumps and I had to re-adjust the "geometry" again so the plane did go straight.
I am looking how to make this more reliable and "dumb pilot" resistant. The threded wire actualy bended a little bit and the plastic bracket is also not fixed there and is moving due to its design.
I will make some pictures tomorrow to ilustrate what I am talking about.
In general, I would like to see how others are controling their front strut in their >80" wingspan aircrafts.
Thanks for your tips,
J.
Here is the image and the control arm or how to call it is here located in the middle and the white plastic thing is that movable bracket.
