Default Pull Pull cables exposed???

Hi Shortman,

The reason the cables are like that are as follows.

1. The elevators move up to 40 - 50 degrees so the horn has to be this far up the rudder. If you notice the elevators are 1.5 inches wider that the standard and the stab is cut back narrower. This is to allow for much better 3D work in the air with the elevators gaining 70% more area, thus better authority, without any change in overal combined surface area of the stab and elevator combined.

2. the direct line to the servo is kept direct, thus this is the route.

3. The fuslage at this point is very slim so this is the point of exit.

Anyway, altough it might look a bit unconventional, this route has no binding what so ever (direct servo to horn link) and having flown my majestics for a year with this mod, I can only say that it works a treat.

cheers,
