High price?

High price? Well, my time is normally around $60 per hour for my real job, and $20 per hour to build sounded pretty fair (but it's my time we're talking about, so I am partial to it).

Ok, I...

Your kidding right???

Once you go 40% you never go back!

Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Wind resistance, precision, reliability, easy to land and take off, what more can you ask for.

Talked with Jerry Nelson today

Ok, talked with Nelson hobbies.

Jerry is convinced that I need more offset on the servo arm. He said I would get slack in the lines only if I did not have enough offset.

So, he's sending...

Not Crossed?

If you don't cross the cables, you will be rubbing them against the formers in the tail of the model. Can't see doing this without crossing cables.

Crossed cables

Yes, cables are crossed. Yes, they rub, but what I do is slip a small diameter shrink tube over one cable to prevent wear and RF interference.

This is a NELSON setup and to my knowledge we are...

Great

Cool, but it does not seem right. My buddies that have dual servos on their rudders with big bellcranks don't have slack at all.

As I said, cables are tight when rudder is in center position.
