Default RE: Phoenix Models F-20 tail linkages?


ORIGINAL: Quikturn

Thanks for the pictures Darthvaj.

Is it posibble you can send a picture of the elevator/rudder servos? Looks like you used a clevis with a ball joint to cope with the pushrod/control horn angle. Good idea!

I'm thinking of using a pushrod from the rudder servo and run it up to the steering linkage as well. That way I can avoid a steering servo.

FYI, I was using a z bend tool for the aileron linkages and the supplied pushrods broke! I didn't realize it until I was installing the second linkage. So if anyone out there has the supplied pushrods installed, I would replace them. They could break in flight.
No problem, I will take some more tonight after work and post them by morning. As for the nose wheel stearing i used a secound servo located up front and linked the rudder and steering together.
