Default RE: SR Eindecker E1 Winter Build Along…

Ya Feep,

I’ve done pull pull before and I know it’s mostly about geometry. That being said I’m not crazy about how SR has the servo tray and bell cranks set up, but I understand why it was designed that way (simplicity). My ideal solution would be to get rid on the bell cranks all together and side mount the elevator servos centered on the elevator hinge line. But it looks like that will not be practical since there is a wing support tube in the way. Now my thought is to lower the main servo tray in order to mount the elevator bell cranks in line with the elevator hinge line and then elevate the rudder servo for the correct position. And also eliminate the rudder bell crank. But I have some time before I start the fuse so right now I’m just kicking around ideas. I like SR’s side mount trays but also got a few of these to check out:

The nice thing about these mounts is the servo can be elevated high enough off the tray where a notch does not have to be made to allow the servo arm to clear.
