Default Hanger 9 Cap 232 -- SETUPs

Servos that don't center properly result in a bird that won't hold trim settings consistently.

I have a pair of 615MGs running the tail of my Ultra Stick. These servos have the same tendency to double-center - the plane tend to climb, dive or yaw slightly depending on the last input given. Very annoying.

As for my Cap (still unbuilt) - I'll be using the following:
  • FMA 3601 coreless servos on all flying surfaces (two on the elevator)
  • JR 517 or FMA 360 on throttle
  • CF pushrods for the elevator and rudder
  • H9 titanium links on the ailerons
  • Ball links on all flying surfaces - 4-40 size, I guess
  • CF landing gear (from troybuiltmodels.com)
  • Either 3.25" or 3.5" rubber wheels depending on what fits in the wheelpants (I haven't looked) - our field is quite rough
  • Sullivan tailwheel bracket for 10-lb+ aircraft
  • Mvvs 1.60 gasser
  • 18x8 or 20x6 prop once the motor has been run in
  • Al spinner
  • 4-cell 1650 NIMH rx pack
  • 4-cell 1100 nicad pack for ignition
I've probably forgotten something, but those are the major items.
