Chad, that was supposed to be a secret! But still using a bipe for F lol.
That's no fair Tim, now you'll have to post pictures of your mount. I will be ordering one for sure though.
As for the linkages, it's the same thing I've done for may years on my competition planes (although I first saw it done by Dave Lockhart in the late 80's).
I use
Hayes 2-56 clevis' on the servo sides,
2mm carbon rod, and
2-56 swivel links (on the horns).
First I cut the pushrods to length then sand the ends.
Next, measure the thickness after sanding and drill out the clevis and swivel links. Clean with alcohol and mark how deep the rods will go into the swivel link ends.
Then, with servos on (and horns mounted to surface) put the clevis and link on.
Finally, Insert the rod into the swivel link end to the mark and then into the clevis. Glue with thin Zap once the surface is straight.
I have started to drill a tiny hole at the end of the opening in the swivel links to let the air out and also to put a couple drops of Zap in it. I've only had one come loose (on a friends plane no less) because I used an oversized drilled hole link that I forgot to replace before assembling.
Friggin brilliant - thanks!
That's something I was already considering, but was afraid to try. But now that I see it's been done before I'll DEFINITELY be preparing my Sequence the same way (and I won't blame you if one of the glue joints lets-go!). I'll be thorough in sanding and drilling to proper size and CA-ing thoroughly! Gee, think of the weight savings over those 4-40 pushrods! (Looks like you're using DuBro ball links?). EDIT: Oops...I see you provided links to the...links.
Thanks again!
Tim
P.S. Just today we temporarily removed the mount boxes from stock due to some "less-than-desirable" plywood, but are expecting replacements soon. If you want me to laser-cut you a set let me know and I will do.
