Default RE: RCM Ultra Sport 60 mods

Regarding the split elevators. I feel setting the plane up with two servos for the elevators is so unnecessary. I have built two US 60's and used the wire joiner with no problems at all using the Harry Higley method. You drill the holes for the wire joiner over sized, fill them with epoxy, insert the wire joiner, and set the two ele. halves on a flat surface. I always used a little weight on top to keep them flat. The overszied holes means that they don't have to be precise, and the hardened epoxy will keep the wood from wearing against the wire. This plane does not need two ele. servos.
