Ed,

I still use these principles to have max torque from my, not digital, servo's.
I do not need a modern computer radio for that and still use my old analog Multiplex Profi.

Second reason to use these linking is; the time to reach endposiions is the longest possible for inside and outside loops and this limmits the gyroscopic forces of the propulsion engine when starting small loops.
I do give some rudder input when starting a small loop, just as the moment of lifting of the tail of a taildragger during start when tho model has a high "nose up" ATTITUDE.

When you pulse a loop with the reeds radio the plane also can waggle the tail as with little rudder deflections because of the gyroscopic forces of engine and propeller! The reeds servo's were "fast" the old proportionals "s>l>o>w>e>r".

What???? Taurus long tail? Yes because of the reeds radio and not only for elevation also for direction! Thanks Ed for learning us this all, let's not forget.
