@ opjose : Do i need to toe in both the front wheels or the one on the left side only?
As I have already glued the back wheel. Can i try anything else ?
Plz look at the pictures. Elevator movement is restricted by the rudder. Is this suppose to happen ?
I cannot remove the rudder and elevator servos to centre them as they were already glued when i received them. I have tried to maintain equal control throws but unable to get them. Is this the flaw in the push-pill system used to control these surfaces ??
Toe-in is adjusted on the front wheels.
With wire gear, you just bend them BOTH in equally.
As far as the elevator....
Move the elevator fully up or down and see where the rudder hits it ( as in your photo ), you can cut a small triangular area off the bottom of the control surface on the rudder, to let the elevator move up more.
As long as you get adecuate travel in each rudder direction, you do not have to worry about unequal travel on your foam trainer.
While this is not desireable, the plane is really controlled via the ailerons and elevator and you will not use the rudder very much.
Also yours is not all that bad that you should worry about it. Worry more about making sure the rudder centers, and the tail wheel lines up with the rudder.
BTW: A computer controlled radio let's you fine tune the control surface travel even when there are errors in physical linkages....
However the TX's that come with most ARF's of not of high or advanced quality.
If the RC bug really bites you, you'll want to invest in a good computer controlled TX that will handle a whole fleet of airplanes for you.
