Control Linkage Servo
 
Question for the collective, building a tower hobbies trainer 40.
About to install the servos, the fuselage plan “top view” shows the nose wheel steering linkage connected to the elevator servo!
and the fuselage "side view" shows the linkage going to the rudder Is this the proper way to install? Shouldn’t the linkage be connected to the rudder servo? Like a real plane…

Thanks

You are correct sir, the linkage should be hooked up to the rudder servo.

Another tip on the nose gear linkage, make it so that the nose gear moves a very small amount, about plus or minus 10 degrees is more than enough. You can even get by with 5 degrees. Do this by connecting the nose gear push rod to the innermost hole on the servo arm and the rudder to the outermost hole.

Also!!!!

Double check your plans!

It could be that the servos are on the opposite side as their respective pushrod exits! This is often needed for clearence (or to avoid unnecessary bends in Nyrods)
