Default TopCAP pull-pull binding

Hi all! Just getting my TopCAP together and as I finished hooking up both the pull-pulls (ele and rud) I noticed that they seemed to be binding and I am not getting very much throw. The servo arms are at the correct angle and the control horns are lined up w/ the hinge line correctly, so I cannot figure out why it is binding. This is my first experience w/ pull-pull, so I may be missing the obvious, but I cannot figure it out for anything! Any advice? The only thing I can think of is that I have got the wires too tight? Is that possible? Thanks for any help you all may be able to provide!

Regards,

Jeff

Default take a look at this site

It is a great explination of ackerman steering geometry. You obviously need to add a little "positive ackerman" to your setup. Read the article and you'll find out what I mean. He explaines it way better than I ever could.
Good luck,
Matt
