Default An elevator splitter ?

Guys,

my BlackHorse P-36A Hawk uses two elevator halves so that you must use two different servos for each half.

I came up with this splitter,

but really don't know how this works.

Look in the hardware bag that came with the plane. There should be a splitter in there. It is a small brass bar with three holes to hold the push rods and three set screws to hold the wires in place. That is what they provided with my BH Trojan.

Bruce,

exactly this part i was thinking of and searched TowerH.

But my P-36A comes with the x2 servo on the elevator halves,technique.
And this procedure is covered on the manual too,
so i guess they don't provide it.

I haven't searched though!

I will do so as soon as i get home.

Do you know how the above part works /TH ?

Kosta, I have this plane and they provide a chrome plated brass connector to tie all three control wires together and it works quite well. The manual shows how this all works.

I dont know what your internal pluming looks like , but I have made my own rods by taking two 4-40 rods incerted into a carbon fiber rod then glued with JBweld .
The two 4-40 end exist out the back of the plane , the single carbon rod is run to the servo and another 4-40 rod is added with a clevis attched to the servo.
For interal smooth support I run a plastic white tube over the carbon fiber rod so the carbob pushrod can slide and be supported inside the fuse .
This give me one servo , a rock solid set up and smooth internal support

Do you have a scematic ?
Because it was a bit difficult to understand.



Also skysfallin,

on my P-36A they use x2 elevator servos,
one per each half.

And the manual shows this setup.

Also on the hardware bag they don't provide the nice splitter

Yes I will try to dig up the actual pictures that I took. I will also try to explane it again .Dubro makes really nice carbon fiber rods . One of the ones they make has two holes in one end for a Y application to the elevators . The opposite end has one hold for one push rod to the servo .

It will show you to add the two medal push rods into the end with two holes . You then add the Jbweld or expoxy to secure them all in place . You add a single rod in the end to the servo.

The end with a Y appearance (two pushrods coming out of one connection ) this end splips out the holes in the rear of the fuse , then you connect the ends of the Y pushrod to ecah elevator horn (and adjust them to even )

You connect the single end inside the fuse to the servo like any other pushrod
