The next area to be tackled was the elevator servos.

the servo plate was removed, A pair of hitec 7955TG's in there are a good thing. I also like that he joined up the elevator horns to make a stronger setup. Some new pushrods and ball ends and it's all ready to go.

one thing with the horns the way they are setup, is that ole mate had no washers on the singular bolt and the bolt was not in safety, I.e there should be a min of 1.5-2 threads showing past the end of the nut. I found a replacement bolt in the spares bin, and fitted a couple of washers. This master plan was great and worked perfectly, until I fitted the top cover. The bolt and nut rub on the sides of the cover at large downwards defections. So removing one of the washers and trimming down the bolt to flush with the end of the net had made it a lot better, but I won't comfortably get more than 30mm downwards travel, that should be enough regardless.

So now that the back end of the jet sorted, it time to move onto sorting out of the servo cables and air lines.

thanks
