I am finishing up my rudder and stab. I like the simple Ray Allen Trim Servo. Installit in the elevator just like you would a RC Servo and push rod. For powerif I do not have a starter battery, I will power trim system with a lipo batteryalong with my hand-held and GPS. (On the same subject of controls) I have looked at the geometry of the elevatorsystem and it does not work out. Do the control cables sag as you change stickposition. If you move the control stick forward 15degs. and back 15 degs., thecable push and pull is not even. This is because the cable on the back stickconnection comes under the 2" pulley, and the front cable goes over the topof the pulley. The cables from the bell crank to the elevator do not work out.they hit the front of the horizontal stabilizer and sag. What can be done tofix this? Is it something to worry about. The bell crank on the original plansunder controls calls for the bearing to be 9" off the bottom. On the extendedfuse update 7-1/8". In another area it calls out 7". The lower it is the moreit rubs.--------ScottRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/cabl ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: BFR
