Default jag stuff

g'day again guys i'll attatch a photo this time of the elevator pivot blocks as built . they have since had the following mods.
1) servos were changed to hitec 9545 digitals 13kg at 6v about 180 oz in
2)the brass bushings have been upgraded to twin ball bearings by pulling out the stab, lapping the aluminium(note the spelling usa dudes!!) rod is solid 10mm(3/8'') until i could push the bearings on from inside and then packing a thick slurry of milled carbon around the outside of the bearing as a carrier~the rod and bearings were installed tonight and the slurry tomorrow, all this because of a little slop from the original setup that i couldn't stop thinking about!
so i guess this may answer 1 of kevin w's questions~ this jag #3 has all flying stabs as elevators only(massed balanced), conventional ailerons, flaps, rudder no spoilers. so as you can see the setup could be for roll control in the tail but i have no experience with any model setup like this.the other two had fixed stab and elevator
rudder is a similar setup but with closed loop, 2-56 rod (about1.5 in long) and 4 swivel linksrudder servo sits behind ele rods.i'll post some more pics of the control setups when time permits~is r/c u strict on 75kb for pics? i'll have to reduce some to get on if so
