Here are the pics. Tiller arm is 41" from hinge line. Balances ok there, just a little nose heavy, balancing at the wing tube with no wings. I used the Dubro heavy duty connectors in the rudder. It helps get the connection at the hinge line. If you can see in the picture, the connector hits the fuse before max travel, still get a lot of travel though. Looking for any ideas to solve that problem. I believe my tiller arm is 4"
I just had this discussion with Scott at SWB the other day. He didn't really seem to beleive me when I said the control horn would hit the fuse side on the Panzl... he said that I had to use a 4" arm... a 4.5" arm wouldn't work because the distance from the tiller to the hinge line is too short. Well... I have a Radiowave Extra that has the same size fuse/rudder, and I used a 4.5" arm in it... it works just fine and the horn doesn't touch the fuse sides like it would with a 4" spread. Scott's a great guy and he's spot on with his stuff, but I think this plane is just a little different than others out there.
I'm glad to hear it's nose heavy... much easier to fix than tail heavy!!! What kind of spinner, gear, wheels, etc???
Cheers!
