RE: Pushrods....
 

Becuase there's push rods on Heli too:)
And i've tinker with those erector sets plenty..mmm like adjusting the pushrods.lol

away, i hope you are successful at making the transition.
Just come in hot and makesure you have good speed on those climb out
becuase the snap roll i'm talking about is not the same as flip flop'in

here's an example

he wasn't going to get that thing back on the ground to begin with anyway
look at all of the post, poles,and trees.
It's good thing he crashed too..i might had killed his kid.

The tail went crazy on him....so he yank on the stick
so the model went up a little bit..did tip stall n a happy snappy:D

Pete, you don''t need a servo reverser, just remove the pushrod tube from the anchor closest to the servo, and move the servo over a little so you can connect to the other side of it.

I reviewed this plane last year for RCU and that''s how I did it.

Here''s the review:

Scroll down to the part right after the engine that''s titled "Servo Reversing"

RE: Pushrods....
 

ok. Thanks guys. I have the servos situation figured out. Everything is fine except for the flap servos. The setup prevents you from physically changing the servo location. It is the only servo that will need to be reversed. I just used aux1 as elev and nothing els needs any reversing. I''ve heard some ify things about reversing y harnesses so I''ll just get one servo reverser today.

Trying another hobby shop today for the pushrod. Only had a 36" available at the first place. I need at least 46"

Thanks again. Peter.

RE: Pushrods....
 

If you are using JR servos, many of them come in a reversed mode.

Just add an "R" to the end of the product number and do a search on Horizon''s website.

Eg:

JSP20050
JSP20050R

Just use a dowl.
Use rods on each end of the dowl.
drill acnhor hole on each end of the dowl...(but not required.) 1"-2" from the ends of course.
Wrap the rods with threads and CA it.

Or you can just soilder two rods together. if your have a torch and proper soilder (silver)

or you can use those rods couplings ..mmm, like what's on my Raptor for the tail rotor.

Or you use wheel collars to couple the rods....that's how they want you to do it on my cap232.
But i trusted my friend's soilder skills better.lol nah..he had a torch.:)

It'll be easier if you install the push rods before mounting the engine, fuel tank..etc.
This way you can sholve the rods through the firewall opening. it'll be easier for you
to navigate the rod to exit through the fuselage.
