<DIV>>> I have yet to change gears on a rudder servo or have parts come
loose. And rudder centering is fine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Matt, can you please clarify this statement? Is this because you get a new
plane with new servos each year, or are you saying that you go multiple years
without every changing servo gears? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What are the most flights you have on any one rudder servo, and what type
of servo.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Keith Black</DIV>

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

size=2>Guys<BR>Another discussion about pull-pull systems. I use pull-pull
on the rudder and compared to the elevator servo the rudder servo gets worn
and loose at the top bearing much quicker than the elevator servo.The cables
are not too tight and are setup correctly so far as ackerman is
concerned.The rudder being much bigger than the elevators may cause some of
this problem. More momentum...<BR>I have used the JR top post brace before,
but it can't be used with the 8411's without some mods.<BR>Any input or
solutions?<BR><BR>TIA<BR><BR>Jim Ivey</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
