Hello Randy, It's no big thing on a pull-pull set-up. Sullivan prods has a nice 2-56 pull-pull kit. Mount servo in fuse close to trailing edge, center it. Use a pin to poke a tiny hole for the wire to exit the fuse in the tail, lining up with the rudder control horn. I'm using a lighter engine [Enya .50] so that's why I don't use a servo in the tail. I'm unable to post photos here due to the company's proxy server at this computor site. No internet at home. May be a while. Balance your plane carefully, another Rocket flyer is having a heck of a time with his. I am very conservative with this plane, I only fly it scale but it fly's great. It's best in my opinion not to WAY over power this little ARF, it makes a mess of that slim cowl when installing too big of an engine. But, you have your agency, do what ever you like. Post your photos if possible please. MM
MM, thanks for the reply. I'm installing an O.S. 46AX with a Slimline Pitts-style muffler in mine. Will that be enough engine, and will that exacerbate the aft CG problem? Sounds like the fwd rudder servo will be required to get the proper CG.
In trying to track down the Sullivan hardware I'm not seeing anything on their web site (
www.sullivanproducts.com), any chance you could provide the part numbers I need? Sorry, I'm a bit new to the RC parts world.
Thanks very much,
RL
