This expensive thing mighta saved old mate wasnt there dont know but heard news. I looked into this a while ago and thought it was nuts direct ganging servos without at least a 7-point radio mix. 3 aint enough (ends and mid) with matchboxes or hitec programer.. With the pulley thing if one servo locks over you can neutralise rudder still with other servos that didn't fail maybe. Across ailerons and elevator where surface can
twist slightly due to range mismatch is ok for 3 point matching. Servos definitely don't linear match tested it with lasers once on a pattern model stab with separate elevator servos. Pulled full up elevator the surfaces were the same, then pulled 1/4 stick which is what u use mainly for radiuses in flight and they were a million miles out from each other. Used the mix curve to fix it on 10 points in Futaba, never pulled a bad corner again. Lasers were attached to clothes pegs which shined on board a meter away with lines on it 10mm spacing. This was very simple and accurate.

Husqvarna is to hard to remember how to spell. Wanna start over with new name that provides more helpful info rather than just dribble (which won't take long). Congrats to Towball for joining the team by purchasing a competition series 106. May he learn how to throttle the thing for it gets away on you on full noise...

Been working on designing my new Edge - All wood, no foam. As soon as the LG, wing tubes etc come in from the USA I'll start on it. Don't know how the picture will look, hope it's ok, had to reduce it quite a bit. The plane has 90" span and is 83" long. I designed it for my 75 for now and might try an 80 later if it needs it. If the design works well, I'll do a 150 size one.
