<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Jim. I suppose that was my point--had
to move that hole up considerably to make it come out on both panels. Also,
after measuring again and again(repeat 19X+), I finally arrived at a
compromise location on my right panel as it seems to be symmetrical to
the left except toward the root where it seems a bit lower(possibly the
issue in Brian's post). Now I'll just go fly it.</FONT></DIV>

<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>There is an extensive thread on this
plane on RCU: <A
href="http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Composite_ARF_Impact/m_1732531/tm.htm">http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Composite_ARF_Impact/m_1732531/tm.htm</A></FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>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>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=3> </FONT>

ABBRA</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>Jim O</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> <BR><FONT size=3> </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. </FONT><BR><FONT size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>Thanks,</FONT>
