ASSEMBLY |
First
thing we did was decide on separate
elevator halves. Instead of one standard
size servo as per the manual, we went with
two
Hitec
5245 digital servos. Joey made a
couple of reducing servo mounting plates
out of 1/8 aircraft ply and glued them in
with some Pacer
30min
Z-POXY from
ZAP.
Next we went for a pull/pull rudder setup
using a single
Hitec
5945 servo. Also shown on
the rudder servo is one of the new heavy
duty servo arms that now come with the
Hitec 5945 servos. We used
DUBRO
4-40 all-thread for the elevator
pushrods. Later we changed to the heavier
DUBRO
tailwheel with 1-1/4"
DUBRO
wheel to add some usable tail
weight. That's also a
DUBRO
pull/pull system with
DUBRO
ball links. All the servos are
mounted with Allen head servo screws from
microfasteners. To
sum up: Joey
(my son) glued the tail together, mod'd
things to accept two 5245 servos for the
elevators, hinged it, and installed the
two elevator servos, plus mounted the
stock tailwheel. Dave Wilbur cut in the
rudder servo and mounted it. Kyle Woyshnis
installed the pull/pull cables, rudder and
elevator control horns, and the pushrods.
And, Ryan Vu went back and put Pacer
ThreadLocker on all the metal to metal
connections. I... at this point?... hadn't
done a thing.

| The
elevators are large and have lots of
throw! We can get more, but this is how
much we're going with. |
Here's
how much rudder throw we have dialed in.
And, with the 5945 for power, it is fast
and you must respect its "uh-thor-i-tay." |
We
setup bevel to bevel on the ailerons... I
didn't setup much expo and they were
wickedly fun.
