Default TopCap pull/pull

Im' having a bit of trouble with the rud. and ele. double centering. I have tried fairly loose and fairly tight- no diff. This plane has one and a half gal. + of fuel though it so I would think it has stretched all it's going to. Pull/pull done per ARF instructions. Any advice? Other than that the MVVS is starting to make POWER and I'm starting to get braver. Will I ever fly a plane with a "normal" power to weight ratio again?

Is it noticably not centering in the air? You can't really tell on the ground. I leave mine a little loose. In the air the wind will straighten things out.

The wires are probably binding in the tubes causing the double centering. I suggest going to walmart and in the sporting goods section get some coated stainless leader line that is a slightly smaller diameter than the line you are using now. You can use the collars that come with the leader line to crimp on the leader line in the place of the supplied pull pull wire. This should free up the pull pull system considerably.
