Default RE: Basic Skybolt (GP) modifications and build suggestions

sky2,
Your servo placement sounds a bit confusing. The rudder servo is higher and forward of the elevator servo, yet the elevator rods exit the fuse *above* the rudder control wires? It sounds like one of us has our wires crossed. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] Also, as long as you're going to the trouble of pull-pull on the rudder, why not go all the way and do it for the elevator as well?

I wouldn't recommend 2 servos in the center for the same reason they recommend not using 4 ailerons with a single servo. The combination of the torque rod control on the lower servo and the joining rod to the upper servo will likely allow to much flex in the aileron linkage - possibly resulting in flutter. If the kit is already designed for dual outboard aileron servos, why not just build it that way?
