 |

Has anyone on here used push/pull tubes instead of cable for the control surfaces. It would appear to be a better method in several aspects.
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]> Eliminate the necessity for periodic cable tensioning.
<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]> Ease of inspection
<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]> Easier to disassemble and re-assemble
<![if !supportLists]>4. <![endif]> Simpler for folding the wings with the folding wing option.
<![if !supportLists]>5. <![endif]> More positive feedback of control inputs
I realize that this is a major design change, but I also realize that with all of the adventurous spirits that we have out there building the 701’s, that several of you have come up with something that works.

I don't know about the 701 but........
The 801 has pushrods all the way to the flaperons so speeding up the folding wing option seems moot.
The geometry of the elevator and its non symetrical bell crank angles and pick up points do not
lead to push rods without a major redesign.
Other then that these things are "experimental" so one can modify to their hearts content.
do not archive.

Same with the 701. Takes only a few seconds to unhook the flapperons. Do not archive
