Hi Dave,
I am running Savox HV servos and Spektrum 7.4 v packs for my radio. Since the break/retract unit is rated from 7.4v to 8.4 v can I just "y" the battery to power the break unit?
"The elevator servos are held down with the servo hatch. Here, too, a little drop of silicone can act as easy to install spacer between servo and hatch. otherwise use a scrap balsa block to fill the space between servo and hatch". Does that mean I don't need to use the CF tabs to hold the servo down but to use the silicon instead. I wonder why... flutter may be?
"It has shown best for the thrust line to direct the thrust tube so that the top side of the thrust tube contacts the fuselage...." Does he mean to touch the fuse former because you just can't raise the tube up to touch the top of the fuselage with the former in place. I wish some one would post some built pictures!!!
Thanks Dave
