RE: Powerline Hobbies Edge 23%
I'm finally back home.
I mounted tail servos without any mods. I'm going to use my own pushrods - twice lighter than stock.
I found, that tail servo wires with 24" extensions are bouncing around the fuselage so I made simple paper tube glued in the tail part. It added 3 grams but wires stay in one place. Se the picture below.
I also got CF tube from CST. it is 3 ft long 21 mm OD and it cost me 52 bucks. I wrapped it in blue paper masking tape - couple layers to get nice fit. Then I painted all with gloss clear dope. After it dries I will sand it with 600 - 2000 paper to get smooth glossy finish. It will fit even better than original one. Now tube weights 108 grams (paper added 18 grams to 90 grams CF) but as I will cut off about 10 inches (wing tube is only 26 inches) My new wing tube will weight less then 2.8 oz (it is about 3 oz less then original one).
Below there is a picture of the new wing tube (not sanded yet) next to the stock one.
Stay tuned
