<DIV>Wow that's alot of re-building but, Good point! The amount of flying is
quite a bit different probably. I fly about 150 flights a year or around 15
gallons give or take 2 or 3. If you fly much more than that, I can see more wear
and tear. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Still, I flew Alliance for 3 seasons and then took her down for refinish.
The rudder servo (and elvtr also) feels solid tho, and has not been re-built.
Doesn't really need it. Don't understand Why your throttle servo is taking a
beating. </DIV>

<DIV>Maybe electrics are better answer. (sigh!)</DIV>

size=2>Matt<BR>Thanks for the input. At the present amount I am flying I am
rebuilding servos once a year and purchasing a new set once a year,to install
just before the Nats. This includes the throttle servo as it takes a beating
also.Some fly more than this and rebuild more than this.<BR><BR>Jim

Pull-Pull servos<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Hi Jim, the horn on the
rudder should be as long as you can bare that will <BR>> result in
minimal slack cable syndrome. I normally use a 3" long 6-32 bolt,
<BR>> and bend it slightly to place the horns on the hinge line. On the
kits I've <BR>> built, I typically discard the stock rudder and build
a lighter version. I shoot <BR>> for a finished weight around 45
grams or less for this size rudder. I keep <BR>> the cables snug but
not too tight. NOT like a guitar string. I have yet to <BR>> change
gears on a rudder servo or have parts come loose. And rudder centering
is <BR>> fine.<BR>> <BR>> Matt<BR>> <BR>> In a

jivey61@bellsouth.net writes:<BR>> <BR>> Guys<BR>> Another discussion
about pull-pull systems. I use pull-pull on the rudder <BR>> and
