| It's official, thanks Verne...    |  50cc Yak alternate servo placement
Hi John, Has anybody tried to move the rudder servo to the tail of the 50cc Yak? I've inspected the tail area near the elevator servo holes and it looks like I can fit the rudder servo in the tail directly under one of the elevator servos. Is there any reason, that you could think of, why I shouldn't do this, such as, making that section of the tail too weak? It looks strong enough to me, but it's your design, you would know the load capabilities much better than I would. My reason for doing this is I need to use this servo to help in the balancing of the airplane. The engine I will be installing is 12.5 oz. heavier than a DA-50 with a can.

I wouldn't recommend having one servo in the tail pushing and pulling in a GS aircraft. Either it's two in the back doing push-pull or one inside pull-pull. I'm pretty sure its a bad idea to have only one servo in the tail...

The reason I ask is, I used that same set-up in my Lanier 87", but their was a cutout for the rudder servo, I just had to remove the covering. The servo I will be using is a Hitec 5955, plenty of power.

You can make a good rear servo rudder install by placing it under the rear portion of the tail . Rear monted pull pull with short cables or push rods.

| It's official, thanks Verne... | Re: 50cc Yak alternate servo placement That looks like a sweet set-up, but I would need to build a box to carry the servo, since the bottom of this plane is sheeted foam. My thoughts are to use through bolts on the rudder horn to a plate on the other side for stability. I will also strengthen the cutout with bracing to the opposite side of the fuse.
