I have just about completed the plane, still have to install the tank and mount the canopy and cowl.

I have found some more issues.

Bell Crank:

There is quite a bit of play in the bellcrank horn where it mounts to the shaft. I have it installed correctly and have the small set pin tight. It looks like I may have to drill all the way through the horn and shaft and install a screw straight through. Otherwise the elevator control surfaces won't return to center when they are moved. This bellcrank system is crap anyway, the plastic is junk and I think I may look for another system to replace it. In addition the bellcrank assembly bumps into the crooked rear former, the only way I see to remedy this is to dremel away a little of the former. If it had been built correctly it would not hit it.

I did also notice that the Hitec 605's are contributing to the problem. I have 605's on the rudder and the elevator, The 605 on the rudder will not center correctly all the time. Sometimes it just stops short of center, I checked the horns and such and made sure there was no play, no binding etc., the 605 still will not center correctly.
I did also notice the 605 on the elevator contributing to the bellcrank problem.
Looks like I may send these servos back if I dont set a match to this plane first.


Well I sure hope nobody else is having as many problems with this plane.
