    The 'repair ' note is now gone. Resoldered a hinge. I was heating from underneath blind and had to hope the wood didn't dampen the heat too much. Minor burn marks underneath..........

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Two thoughts Snoopy, other than the steel tubing added around the cabin/ forward fuse area I'm building according to plans. In other words I'm assuming it is a proven design. Secondly, Cubs are hard to land, there is so much lift you almost have to force them down.

    I added a bell crank to make up the 2" offset. I pressed in bearing just big enough to cover 4-40 rod then locked it in between the fuse frame.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I found a 1/8 +/- carbon fiber rod that wool work perfectly. Even better it was splitting on one end and I found a perfect way to save it. I taped the split tight while the Hysol cured,.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I don't think a plastic Du-bro push rod is appropriate for a 40 lb airplane so looking for ideas. I might have a direct line to the servo but the flex of a plastic push rod is nice.
