Just checking.
yes i'am running 6 volts. and i believe the little servos are doing the job. it will do the wall like no other plane i ever had. it never lacks for elevator right now. and i have them on the rudder also it has awesome rudder response. i know the servo's are on the low end but there is 2 of them on both surfaces. putting the total on the 135oz range on the surface. mike from ohio model planes claims he did this (2 servo's per half) so that you can run a mid grade servo. which i consider a 225 a mid grade servo. am i wrong in thinking this? i came out at 12lbs all up flying weight by using the mighty mini.
i was talking to one the veteran club members today about the problem and mentioned to him about the flying wires and he agreed that it could be oscillation of the tail. since you can kinda notice it in hover every once in a while. i think i'll move the clevis out on the control horn a few notches and add the flying wires they look good any ways so even of they don't help i will still like them.
if that don't fix it then i'll try the ball link. but there is really no slop in the linkage now. maybe some carbon fiber rods with ball links if all else fails!!!!
thanks for all the input guys

it really helps
