Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

If I ever have to pull the rudder off of a plane, I will use those for sure!

I use them on ALL my planes now, even those without a removable rudder. I think it's honestly cleaner, easier, and provides a better connection.

That does look nice. I'm using the tensioner on the rudder and the stock hardware at the servo side but I think I'm going to move the tensioners to the servo side and install the coupler on the rudder.

Thanks Joe

I really like that configuration and may have to redo some pull-pull systems I already have. I have an idea for a removable rudder system, but it may not be any better the current simple solutions available already, but these components gives me the incentive to try it. Thanks for showing that.

my pleasure. I get the couplers/tensioners from [MENTION=388]Aztech Aeromodels[/MENTION]

On my one plane that has a removable rudder I did a push pull so I have to remove a M3 bolt and pull the wire out.

I have actually gone back to normal pull pull setups as the tensioners sometimes drive me crazy with nut and figuring out which way to turn them and getting a tool in there. I usually fix the tension on the rudder side. In bigger planes like 50cc they are great and also these 35-40cc planes. I am more referring to the 3DHS and AJ 30cc stuff.

The picture on this page helps when trying to figure out which way to turn them http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1152

I made a video about these when I installed mine, Ill post it later. If you didn't know there is a line on one side that designates normal threads, its easy to figure out. Put your index and thumb fingers together and thread it between your fingers. It will grab and thread when you going the right way.

Looks like a great winter project to switch out to those tensioners, I just wish I did it when I built my 83" MXS.

I am really digging that Hanger 9 unit too but hard to justify $60+ when I really have no problems with my Aeroworks one.

The Aeroworks one does incidence as well?
