Default RE: New Great Planes Revolver


ORIGINAL: mike early

Don't you have the backing plate on the elevator horns?

Just bend the last inch of the pushrods to accommodate
No, the instructions say not to drill all the way through the elevator and the mounting screws are not long enough to go all the way through. As far as I know from reading this forum, the Revolver doesn't use the backing plate (someone PLEASE correct me if I'm mistaken on this). Regarding placing a bend in the pushrods, I read somewhere else that putting a bend in your control rods will cause them to flex. This seems like the most logical solution to me but I just wanted to get some feedback from more experienced builders before I attempted a fix. Although I've been flying electrics for 2 years, this is my first "real" ARF build so please excuse the ignorance.
Thanks,
Rick
