Default RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

I'm currently in the process of my last mod prior to the maiden flight. I am replacing the stock elevator pushrod assembly and I'm installing a D.E.P.S. elevator control system from Central Hobbies. It is carbon fiber pushrods inside plastic guide sleeves with titanium ends. You attach these plastic guide sleeves inside the fuse with bracing balsa to make everything very stiff and stable. The stock pushrod system shook like mad and looked quite fragile when I've been breaking inmy Saito 1.80 in the plane (on the ground). If the plane doesn't fly well and hold together after all I've done to this "arf" then I know it wasn't me at fault. I can't do anymore!! I need to fly it someday [sm=stupid.gif]!
