Default Yellow Giles & Cap

We have the 60 size Cap. I originally used that bent wire set up on the front of the cowl. Took a whole evening to get it bent right and a nut and bolt in it. Lost it after first flight even with locktight, lol. With the cowling screw holes beefed up with CA everything is holding fine.
I also eliminated the wooden dowl elevator push rod. I used Two seperate push rods in guide tubes, Y'ed together near the servo. Just have to watch the geometry close so both halves have identical throw. I couldn't get the dowl set up to NOT bind with up elevator.
