http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6955&rd=1&rd=1
i read some posts in here that i can't find.. are you guys crossing the wires in your rudder pull pull setup?
it seems to make the geometry much better, but the wires will rub, and i'm affraid that can cause RF interferance...
do you cover them some how?
any input?
also, i know most of you are having to add weight with an OS 1.60 .. how much weight are we talking about?
i had my sights on a MDS 2.18, but found too good a deal on the OS...
i just ordered these cirrus servos,, check out the specs! and for $32! i hope they work out..anyone use them ever?

i did break down and get the $55 digital hitec for the rudder... had to splerge a little!
thanks for your time!
Twig,
That's a great find. That plane would take one evening for me to fix - I'd consider some aluminum angle inside the fuse to bolt the gear to. that's the second time I have seen a Cap-X with the same looking damage to the LG block - seems that the blind nuts like to pull through the light ply. I'll be reinforcing mine when it shows up.
I know nothing about those Cirrus servos - but as long as they hold together - looks like a good deal. Might want to research around here to see if anyone else has some input. If there are issues, someone will have talked about them.
Manual says run the wires straight, but run them however you think will work best for you.
