Default RE: Citabria Pro by Balsa USA

I am installing a set of Dubro heavy duty servo arms for the ailerons, because the ones that came with the radio are short. The new ones are 1" long so I should get the rated torque of the standard servo for them. It seems I can get almost 2" up travel and a good 1" down travel. The pinned hinges really give it lots of movement.

My elevator High Rate is about 1 3/4" each direction, and about 1" on the Low rate setting. I can program it a little lower if that is even too much. I hope this will suffice. I will use low rates of course.

I am kinda bummed out about the rudder. I got it to travel within 1/4" of the elevator, but any closer and it starts to rub a little with the center dowel of the elevator. I should have made the rudder hole a little bigger. Oh well, too late now.

Hoping to tune it up tomorrow. Now the weather, and my schedule is not looking good for a maiden flight this week.[]
