More Revolution Questions

3M Decorate and Repair Tape ( 23-8085 ) comes in Clear, Red, Blue....etc
usually found at Ace Hardware in a complete rack. I cut a servo sized hole
opposite the rib, chuck the hatch in the trash and use the tape as the
hatch.

3m speed tape  ala Shulman.  I did add a lip in the inside for the hatch
to rest on.

1. Ditto  (will send photos upon my return to town)
2. There is a section near where the control horn is put in that has an
epoxy/micro ballon filling.  I drilled through that...haven't had a
problem
in 2 seasons.
3. Ditto...cut hatches.  You'll be surprised....and scared...how easily
an
x-acto knike will go through the wing skin.  It's like cutting
paper...or
more easily.   I also opened up the servo box a little so the servo
would
sit closer to the surface of the wing.

1. I went with a hyde ar mount and a nose ring attached to the front.
2. I used the stock arms. It has not flown but it is a tight linkage I
used
Troy Newman's elevator linkage setup.
3. I just cut a hatch

Subject: More Revolution Questions

I have just recently purchased a Revolution Pro. I have not started the
assembly yet, I have a few questions that I want to get the answers to
before I start. I am hoping that someone will read this that has one or
knows somebody who does.

1st. The model comes with an engine mount already installed. It says
that it
is a soft mount and is designed for a 140 2c or 4c. I am kind of unsure
of
the way the mount looks. I am going to be using a YS140 Sport. I have
seen
them run at idle and they can really shake. I was thinking of using a
Hyde
ARIS mount. Has anyone mounted one of these on this plane before. It is
a
composite air frame and didn't know how well it would work.

2nd. The model comes with control horns
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1174>  already

installed ( composite arms ) I want to use MK horns & clevises. I know
that
I can cut off the horns that are on there now, the directions say that
you
can do this. I didn't see or missed where it said that it was ok to
drill a
hole in the control surfaces to put the horns in. I am concerned that
there
might not be a hard mount in the wing to mount the horn to. I don't want
to
cut off the originals until I get an answer on this.

3rd. If you have put together an impact or Revolution then you know
where
the servos are mounted in the wings. For those who haven't seen it yet I

will try to describe it as close as I can. The servos is mounted on it's

side with the arm protruding out from behind or inside the skin on the
wing.
They are mounted in the 3rd or 4th wing spar in, about 12 or so inches
from
the wing root. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THEM IN THERE??????? I think that
I
have figured out how to put in the screws
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1138>  but how
do
you put the servo in its place?? This one has me racking my brain.

I am sure that I will come up with a ton more questions but that is all
that
I can think of right now. Any help on this would really be appreciated.

Thank you for all the help.
Dan
