RE: Final control suface adjustment?
This was the .25 version of the aerostar. I started building around 1990. I threw everything out but the plane was hanging from the ceiling all this time. I could get the plans for $13 from midwest. All I really would like to know is the CG they recomend.
Everything orange is new. had to make the elevator, ailerons and the nose. The wing tips needed a little repair. I Added a Thunder tiger .36 and I've run a couple of tanks in the backyard.
Bought a Spectrum DX6i and installed servos.
left to do:
Fix binding front wheel when it turns.
How much is enough ? Is 1/4" turn L & R enough?
Rudder is 1/2" L&R
Elevator is 7/16" Up & 5/16" down
right Aileron is 5/16" up & 3/8" down
left Aileron is 3/8" up and 5"16" down
The aileron rods do not align, I missed that in the dry run.. I think thats why the ailerons dont move evenly?
I dont want to twist the rod , I'm afraid they will break out of the wing. I think I can bend them with plyers, after they come out of the wing, so they are the same distance from the servo.
Also I built the box for the servo, It sticks out more than I thought it would?
Weights in at 4.5 lbs
Now I'm trying to hook up with a local club and get someone to work with me.
Soon
