CTE

[Bob Pastorello]

There's a thread going now on RCU about this very topic.  My .02 based on esperience....wooden fuses stretch and contract, just like those privacy fences aroun the deck!!  Since CF (or gigerglas) pushrods with steel ends DO NOT change 1/10th as much, I concluded - for me - that going pull-pull was the answer.
    It has been so far (about 8 airplanes since I've had a pushrod).

  Pull-pull will eliminate the trim change...

    Gray what is the CTI for balsa ? I have carbon push rods / balsa fuse and my elev trim moves around considerably. I suppose it is because of humidity variation between the shop and outdoors ?? The pushrods are 50" long.      NatPenton
