Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Gents,

Drilling the hole in the side of the fuselage for a pushrod feed through, I use my “own method” .
Maybe interesting for you,

I clamp the fuselage between two pieces of wood and fill the space between the sides if necessary.
Do not use too much pressure, it is only to guide the bore.
Now drill the hole in the piece of wood outside the fuse but in the right direction to the servo.
My fuse is 1/8 is 3 mm thick on this place.

To drill the hole I use piano wire, the point of the bore I make myself (picture 2). Diameter 3 mm (1/8).
Pictures, the outside 1, inside 2 and result 3!

May this helps you in the dark evenings of the winter to bring an little light in the fuse, picture 4.

Ed did not use this method see picture 5, an example of Ed's fuselage now owned by Kingaltair.
Making the feedthrough this way you do not have to bend the wire of the pushrod . A point Ed did tell us to take care of that.(RCM & E, picture 6), a second advantage is, this feedthrough guides the pushrod.
