That is normal. Sam Malone makes some very nice offset arms btw.

Hey... I didn't know you needed an offset arm to counter a control horn that was offset from the hinges! I have a question for you guys then... In my setup on an extra 260, when the rudder is thrown to either side, I get slack in the opposite cable. When the rudder is in a neutral position, both are taught. Is this my problem, maybe it's the horn / arm not equal??? This plane is grounded till spring, so there's no worry about crashing... It flies well now, but that slack worries me.
Thanks a million,

Hey, isn't he the bartender on Cheers? I think you mean Sam Monteleone

He is good, but usually very slow. Try Scott at SWB. He is very knowledgeable, has top notch products and usually ships same day

Of course, if you are as poor as Darrinc, you could make one out of scrap aluminum or carbon fiber like I did. fortunately for me, I can afford to buy the other stuff, but needed a custom offset to keep the tension the same throughout the throw and did not want to wait for a custom one to be made. (I know, I know, I am an idiot because I use regulators and 2 Rx's, but I like the pretty blue color and needed something to waste my money on
