Hi Vince,
ive discovered that im getting some torsional twisting in the elevator
This is not a surprise, the carbon rod was not intended to act as a torque rod. Furthermore, there's no real anchoring in the flying surface itself, so I recommend to revert to the standard set up!
have you heard of anyone else doing this in the past without any problems ??
No, not without problems I'm afraid…
Best regards,
Philip Avonds
You are trying to set it up similar to Skymaster, which is hit and miss. I've received stabs from SM that I had to throw away as the carbon rods twisted beyond acceptable. The longer they are the worse it gets. Stick to Avonds instructions....its a proven design.
