Default RE: DWE Micro P-38

Ray,

Another idea to consider for ailerons with the MJ servo is to run a single length of .080" guitar string through lengths of the teflon tubing you can buy for making CA dispenser tip. A piece of .020" brass rod 'Z' bent (sort of) gets attached to the MW with heat shrink tubing and fixed in place with CA. Gentle curves in the teflon tubing allow the wire to slide back and forth without undo friction. Horns acan be attached to the ends of the wire in the same way the brass rod shuttle gets attached to the center of the wire to engage the servo.

I find pull-pull to be a PITA, and this was easier to rig up. WIth gentle curves, friction is reasonably low...

The first photos shows the servo. The teflon tube runs through the ribs along the spar. The second photo shows the teflon/wire exitting the tissue, and the third shows (poorly) the horns and aconnections.
