STILL A BEGINNER . . . New problem . . . stabilizer struts??
PROBLEM
When I control the motion of the elevator on my Mini Telemaster it twists the stabilizer, causing not only the obvious twist of wood but a buzzing in the servo. The stabilizer is of stick construction and all the control mechanisms are installed and otherwise running smoothly with no obstruction of the pushrods.
QUESTION
Is this happening because I used too much glue in the CA hinges, causing a tight flex?
SOLUTION???
I do NOT want to cut out the hinges and redo.
Instead, can I attach balsa supports (much like wing struts) from the fin tip to the stabilizer tips to add strength to the stabilizer? Would this be better done AS EXPLAINED or perhaps UNDERNEATH the stabilizer from both tips on either side to the bottom of the fuselage?
Do you think stabilizer struts would work in preventing the twist when I control the elevator?
Please help ASAP, thank you!!!
