Default RE: pull pull set help

Hi rc pilot,

Dubro make a complete kit that has fittings, crimps, turnbuckles, control horns, wire etc. They also sell some of the bits and pieces seperately. I'm sure there are many other manufacturers out there who also manufacture pull/pull sets. You can also buy a tray with a bellcrank that the cables connect to so there isn't a constant strain on the servo bearings as the servo activates the bell crank. It does help if you use ball bearing servos if not using the remote set up. You will find that the same wire and crimps is much cheaper at a fishing tackle shop, and it is easy to make your own connections save for the turnbuckles if you have the time.

The wire needs to be tightened so there is no play in the actuation of the control surface. NOT tight like a guitar string.
