RE: Control Horns
I am ALWAYS in awe of the creativity of us......think we could solve the National Debt??
Anyway - for fear of offending the pattern gods, and the exclusive, nearly-unobtanium parts that components must be made of....several of you are following my Excelleron thread, and I had assymmetric offsets on the pull-pull horns. Threaded rod sunken into triangle pads screwed onto the control surface a la MK (sort of).
Solution to get to the hinge line (barring the use of either Sullivan # 566, or Dubro 867, which both have long plastic parts for the clevis), I came up with these. Yes, those are Dubro regular old steering arms with the collars discarded, then they are drilled and threaded onto the 3mm rod. Little 3mm nut, drop of Loctite. Hold control at neutral, drill hole where desired.
It is definitely Un-trick, and Un-pattern-ish, but golly .... it sure solved the problem and actually increased the load bearing area of the threaded control horn part....
Enjoy, and think about it after the laughter subsides.
