RE: Zeroli P51 Build
Hey Skyflying and friends
I was looking at different types of push rods at tower etc...are your carbon rods the type that slide in a tube, or the arrow shaft type that just hang. If they do hang, do you need to put any support anywhere inside the fuse?
I bought some semi flexible Sullivan composite carbon 3/16 shafts with outer tube guides which seem pretty good, but they're not the 100" never bend arrow shaft carbon fiber type. I think these are good enough for this giant size plane?
But the retract tail wheel needs to be pull pull because you need loose wires when it retracts I presume...so would kevlar work or does it have to to be steel wiring?
Did you use 3/16" wire to do your elevator function connection? I bought some 1/8" by accident and think I probably should not use it just in case, seems pretty strong though. Trying to figure out the best linkage situation for this too...probably will need to build a hatch for access there.
