Funny how this is only my second real ARF

Unfortunately the geometry of the rudder cable exit guides to the rudder horn only really allow for crossed cables. I am not sure if there is really a downside to them but I have always preferrred and used uncrossed cables in the past.

The rudder horns were screwed on with a little silicone rubber on each base to fill in the rear gap under the horn due to the rudder taper, and to help prevent loosening, Loctite was also used on the screw. I used Hanger 9 ball links on the servo wheel and MK links on the rudder end. For cable I have always liked Berkley Steelon fishing leader. It is a plastic coated wire. The wire is soldered into Dubro threaded couplers. The cable is stripped and bent back on itself and held in place with solder. The wire does not accept solder but the solder locks it in place.

Right now I have a 35 mm JR large output wheel. This is not quite enough throw and will need to be changed.
