Default MPI 3" offset rudder arm for 35CC extra 300

Hi, just wondering, I'm using a 3" offset arm for my plane, is this wrong, would I have a problem? I heard that the offset arms are only for cross cables and the extra has straight ones, should I worry?

Thank you?

Alejandro,

Here is a great explanation of pull pull geometry with diagrams. Hope this helps.

Andrew, thank you very much, I already read that article, but I'm still with the doubt, would it happen something?

I suggest you offset your rudder control horns the exact amount behind the hinge line that the offset on your arm is. Barring that, either cross the wires (likely new slots will be needed) or get the right arm.

my .02 cents.

Cheers,

Andrew.
