Default RE: CA Models ONAS

Mike hold off on your battery tray mod I am just going to the other factory to make a tray extension and they will be in Chris's next shipment. The Onas was the first plane that I designed the battery mount for and I realize now I made it a little to small to accomidate every option.

Another thing that some of you may want to try is running your rudder set up similiar to how Seba has done it in the past. One servo in the tail. Now I know that sounds a little old school to most but I had the luxury of borrowing one of his planes for a couple months when I was in Isreal in 2007 and it works. My first thought was wow I can't believe he is using this, but after flying it I have to say I was very impressed. The direct drive even though its on one side is super solid and you never have to worry about any type of cable flex, stretching, or even breaking. I have used basically this same sytem on all my planes since but I used 2 small servos for the split rudder.

I have found that on the 40% models you can have a more effective rudder with half of the servo power as well by not running cables. I have tried all sorts to elimate the stretch up to 300 pound test and its just not the same.

Just some thoughts guys
