Default RE: GP Cap 232 40 Size Build Modifications.

Before I started the modification on this model I started to think on how could I improve this kit, (even that by its self is a really good one), firstly I thought that the aileron servos was an imperative mod, because of the computer radio benefits, then I thought that the elevators could have a more precise movement splitting in two, placing them on the fuse sides and using mini servos, taking advance of the today’s technologies, Now you can have the same or more amount of power from this miniservos than the standard servos that are recommended for this particular plane. When I finished the building of the entire frame I was able to balance the plane placing the servos, batteries, engine, tank, etc. in the place that they should be, then I found that the rudder servo at the tail could make this plane tail heavy so I thought immediately on placing this servo inside with a nice pull pull system (Dubro 4-40). After those changes the plane balanced right at the spar of the wing. (Yes I am using a four stroke Saito 91 that helped me a lot for balancing)

The throttle servo could be a miniservo attached on the fuse wall in the cavity of the tank, this could take a little more effort to accomplish but there is enough room inside this plane to take advantage from, then you could install the pull pull system for elevators.

Tom I hope the picture is clear enough to respond the question you did before about the crossed cables on the pull pull system, I believe that this way it works better than straight cables.
