<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob, Thanks for pointing this out as I for one have
been fighting a similar situation with my Entropy. I've rechecked all my
measurements and servo connections but never thought this might be a problem.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, the bearing change on my OS 140RX went smooth
as a whissle using the instructions on your web page. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Cable Setup Re-Discovery</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the ten of us who AREN'T at the Nats, I
thought I'd share a re-discovery. Still trimming on the Aries, and
seemed to have differences in inverted snap recoveries from upright, and hard
inverted pushes were rolling and not "feeling" the same as equally-hard
Upright pulls...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So - today - did some pretty
serious measuring on the cable setup on the elevators....here's what I
found...(reminded me of the last time I discovered this circa
1997-8)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. Cable tension was
different on each cable during the transition of rotation of the servo,
particularly near the full deflection endpoints. I *think* this is part
due to a horizontal servo arm, rather than vertical, but not sure.
Anyway...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. At parts of the
rotation/deflection, the cables were being pulled against the rear edges of
the cable guides. Although they are exactly where the plans/instructions
refer to, they weren't long enough slots to permit the cable to be under
constant, direct tension to the servo arm. Last time I fought this, it
was showing up the same place - snap recoveries and hard
pushes....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After getting this all handled, all the cables
are at least under the same tension, and the changes in the exit guide length
did affect the total deflection tension....it was an interesting
re-discovery.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tomorrow I'll find out if it was all in my
imagination.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV>If anyone has similar experience to recall and share, I would appreciate
the validation!</DIV>
