RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Gents, something to read.
To adjust the deflection of the elevator I want to use the same method Ed did.
The max deflection up and down also was the deflection to make a looping inside and outside
In the past with the reed system Ed did fly the loops without pulsing, see again the RCM & E article.
The Taurus has an asymmetrical and thick wing so because of this reason the up deflection is less than the down deflection.
For the Standard and Top Flite Taurusses this “UP ”was about 5/16”, and “DOWN” 11/32”
To get this result in the past the elevator lever wasn’t square mounted on the elevator but in a angle.
After mounting the elevator I cannot change the angle anymore but I can mount the elevator servo on a rail. Also with the position of the servo and adjustment of the neutral position I can change the deflections.
BTW the reeds servos were linear and not adjustable I think so Ed had a lot to do, maybe this is the reason for the hatch under the lever of the elevator so he could bend the lever??
I did hear you can adjust the deflections separate Up and down in the “programmable” transmitter these days!!!!!
It’s a wonder.
