<DIV><SPAN class=161212720-17042003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
would put a support in the middle. It works best if the arc of the servo
arm is belly-up and belly down at the input to the MK unit. (or vice versa)
That way there is a spot that naturally stays still half way down the rod, or
so. this assumes that the elevator servo is laid on its
side.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Bellcrank<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi, It's time to go flying here in Alaska. What are you guys
using for the pushrod to the MK Bellcrank? I have the carbon fiber rods
from Central Hobbies I think they are .208 OD and the 4-40 Titanium
fittings . I am using the 3mm MK fittings at both the servo
and bellcrank. Servo will be a JR 8411 SA. My concern is do I
need to support the pushrod in the middle somehow to lessen vibration or
movement under high G loads? I am installing it in an Alliance. Thanks,
Reeves.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
