<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't speak to trim change on pull-pull, however
yesterday after a night of 35 deg. weather I went flying and when I turned the
plane on my rudder began osculating. I also experienced this at the Hot Springs
contest on a chilly morning. Luckily at Hot Springs Dave Cotton suggested I
tighten my pull-pull cables and the osculation went away and I was able to fly
(thanks Dave). Yesterday morning I also tightened the cables and the problem
disappeared.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since it happened again yesterday with
temperatures colder than Hot Springs I believe it is due to the fuse shrinking
while sitting in my garage in the colder temperatures. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore, even if the *trim* doesn't change for
pull-pull, your cable tension will change which could cause differences or
possible problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There's a thread going now on RCU about this very
topic. My .02 based on esperience....wooden fuses stretch and contract,
just like those privacy fences aroun the deck!! Since CF (or gigerglas)
pushrods with steel ends DO NOT change 1/10th as much, I concluded - for me -
that going pull-pull was the answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It has been so far (about 8
airplanes since I've had a pushrod).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gray what is the CTI for balsa ? I have
carbon push rods / balsa fuse and my elev trim moves around considerably.
I suppose it is because of humidity variation between the shop and
outdoors ?? The pushrods are 50" long.
