Guys,
I was wondering if anyone substituted a normal pushrod for the tube and cable arrangement. As was discussed earlier there is a slight amount of resistance in the cable. Maybe its nothing to worry about but I'm used to straight shots to the surface with a stiff rod and no play or resistance. It looks like it would be pretty easy to use a carbon fiber pushrod for the elevator. I'm at the point where I have to decide.
I know its a sport design but my wallet says it ain't.
Mark,
I have an exactly stock setup per Bruce's instructions with the cables. Works very well. She locks on a heading so I know it is returning to neutral just fine. I would think a pushrod would need supported someplace unless you're mounting the servos in the aft fuse section?
You might have too much solder wicked into the cable?
