I'm feeling the temperature raising a few degrees up, all right [sm=thumbup.gif]

THE VERTICAL FIN & RUDDER:

IMPROVEMENT # 1
Yesterday I compared both fins (new and old vertion) and for sure the new one weight much more that the old due the reinforcements made (carbon fiber layers). With a digital caliper I measured the thickness of the rudder wall at the servo bay openning. The old one measure 0.036" and the new 0.060"...big diference, but only in that area. In others they have the same.


ASSEMBLING

Material used:
4 units 4-40 socket head screws cutted to lenght.
2 units 4-40 bllind nuts
2 units 4-40 flat washer
1 set on BVM servo mount
3/16"plywood.

Attatch the servo to the mount. Only one pair of screws, nuts and washer are require.
Cut 3/16"plywood base as per the servo side size and with 4-40 blind nuts to hold the servo mount. Glue that base with Hysol and don't forget to do it archiving 90 grades with the fin trailing edge.

.....to be continue....have to go now
