Shaz,

I was looking for some detail images the other day and found these:

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/lu...tor_walk_2.htm

There are some pretty good shots of the dash in there.

Paul, thanks but I need a straight on shot of cockpit so I can print it out and glue on. The angled views wouldn't look so good printed out. But thanks! Hoping Kevin-O can send me what he got from Ralle!

Cheers bud!

I have noticed 3/32 play in my right elevator. The play is not coming from play in the servo or linkage.

It appears to be coming from the wire in the hinge in the inboard side. The wire might be slightly undersized for the hole in the hinge.

It does concern me somewhat, so I am asking those flying the Tutor if you are seeing the same situation and if so how much movement are you getting.

I do not have many flights on my Tutor only 13 so I don't believe it is a wear problem at this point.

Thanks for checking.

So its got worse?
If you take the elevator off and thread the wire through the hinge blades on the tailplane, is there free movement of the rod? If so you could bush with plastic tube. Like I said before I've not seen this much play on any of ours.

Hi Dave,

No it is still the same. Only 13 flights so far.

I am going to have to fix it I realize that.

My personal feeling is that 3/32 might be pushing the limit.

Curious if this is a problem with some of the other Tutors out there.

As always thanks for your quick response.

I think more the better, but 20mm take off and 70mm Landing measured at root TE is my manual figures.

What size servo arms are needed for the flaps, ailerons, rudder, and elevator? I don't have the plane with me to check and I need to order aluminum arms.

Thanks!

I got them from Ron dileo @premier pilots you need to lop off abt an inch from abdomen but they look great.
Use the carf helmet and some foam to fit

Hi Kevin,

If you get a chance could you post a close up picture of your pilot in your airplane?

I still have not put a pilot in mine.

I am really enjoying flying my Tutor. What a great airplane.

Thanks,
Stan
