Default RE: Impact

Hi Guy's,
I've just finished installing the rudder post and rudder on the Impact, what a horrible job[:'(]. I found setting the depth of the post a real nightmare to achieve a nice fit of the rudder. the problem was achieving the required throw without having a big gap down the hinge line, the rudder seemed to hit the side of the fuselage when deflected to the required 3" of throw, anyone else had this problem? I've settled for as small a gap as possible, which could only be achieved by setting the post at a slight angle to compensate for the change in thickness of the rudder thoughout it's length.
Still a value for money kit though, can't wait to fly it!

Servo's i'm using are:

Aieleron's - JR DS8401
Rudder - JR DS8401
Elevator's - JR DS3201
Throttle - JR DS811.

Radio is JR PCM9X with 2700 NiMh battery,
Power is YS 140LM and Hattori 693,
Fuel is Wildcat YS 20/20.

Bye for now,

Andy P.
