<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">On mine, the holes in the fuse were
somewhat close, however, the receiving hole of the pin was NOT drilled
on the centerline of the wing TE. Thus, instead of having 0.25 positive
incidence as the initial fuselage holes aligned to, the "wings"
ended up at -1 degree negative incidence! Check your wings.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I decided just to go all pull-pull on Rudder
and elevator to save weight on the 'E' Impact. Not too crazy about
the incidence set-up suggested. To get the wing panels where I THINK
they should go, I had to enlarge and raise the anti-rotation hole in the
wing panel roots a little over an eighth which seems a little excessive.
Has anyone had a similar experience? The hole originally was
located toward the bottom of the wing and now it's roughly the same distance
from the top. In the building process the hole is not critical until
the very end when you set the incidences. Or have I royally screwed
up? Fuse is going to be light--but the wings weigh a ton.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">One thing you could do is build a special
harness to go to the tail that consisted of two 18 ga. wires for power
and three 26 ga. wires for the rudder and two elevator servo signals
(assumes three channels being used). In the tail you could fan it
out to three very short female connectors. Not sure it is worth the
trouble but could save weight.</font>

<br><font size=3>I am sorry that took me so long. The extra heavy
duty extensions are in the plane and I can not weigh those. I have
12" long JR extensions. The heavy duty is 5 grs. The light
duty is 4 grms. That is only 1 gr. difference but is 25% more than
the light duty. I think the extra heavy duty could be around 50%
more or 8 grms. We have a lot of extensions in the ABBRA gas version.
If we assume 8 ft of EHH exteansions we could save 32 grms. or 1.02
oz. It is not much but it is 1 oz.</font>

</font>
<br><font size=3>Hello all,</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3>I need suggestions to make servo extensions as light as
possible. This is for the new ABBRA with gasoline engine and we have the
servos in the back to better balance the plane. I think we can save
some weight if we can get very light servo extensions. We are using
4 digital servos JR 3241 in the tail. One for each elevator and two
pull-pull configuration for the rudder. The plane right now is about
6 oz over 11 pounds and we are looking for places to reduce the weight.
