OK, I'm setting up the rudder for a Zen 50. The stock cable exit holes in the fuse are a touch farther aft than they should be, so I used a couple of pushrod exits to smooth them out. Problem is that the run of the cable isn't perfectly straight, but I can't move the exits foward, as there's a frame in my way. My question is, can you cross the cables, I.E. run right horn to left side of servo horn, and vice versa? I know full sized aircraft use this system, but are there any drawbacks/negatives about doing it in r/c? IT would make for a much straighter shot at the control surface, or would I just be better off letting it rub?


Thanks in advance,

Andy

Andy,

You can cross the cables.

whatever you do, don't let it rub. you can let it cross, that shouldn't be a problem BUT... I had the Zen 50 and it didn't have that problem. Are you sure that you are putting it in correctly? Could you feasibly turn the servo around? Unfortunately I sold my plane but I remember the kit went together like LEGO and the wings were strong as oxens.

Great pattern plane for pattern... not light... but perfect for IMAC stuff.
