ultrastick hardware junk replacement
Howdy,
i'm back to the hobby after a 20 year break but i'm still able to evaluate
the supplied hardware as just plain cheap junk.
However, remembering the good and reliable stuff is almost as hard as reading through
all the posts and reviews to find out what kind of servo control linkage to use in order to build it strong enough
to avoid flutter and failure due to vibration and such.
I'm building the model with a saito 100, quad flap/ail setup, rudder and elev servos in the tail, pull pull on rudder
maybe also on elev. but not sure about the elev.
My question is:
1. what kind of clevises, servo horns, ail/flap pushrods are the best to use?
2. should clevises be metal and ail/flap horns be nylon or both nylon?
3. is it advisable to use ball links on one end and just z- or L- bends on the other?
4. should i use the supplied engine mount or buy a dubro for more than $30?
I must admit, I've kind of lost the know-how.
can anyone advise ?
thanks for your time.
