Default RE: Install the DEPS elevator system in a painted fuse

Troy,

Thanks very much for your detailed write-ups on the DEPS system, I'd like to us it in the Brio I'm building.

I followed the description you gave in this thread to determine the location of the exit holes, however to achieve a straight run with no bend inside the plane my exit holes come out about 5" in front of the leading edge of the stab and about 12.5" from the elevator control horn. Clearly this is WAY to long of a distance for the 0.07 rods.

What do you recommend? Would you suggest slightly bowing the rods/sleeves inside the fuse so they'll come out further back?

Thanks,
Keith B
