MK Dual Elavator Bellcrank & Pushrod?

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Wayne, assuming that theteflon tube giuides are full length, a drop of  
probond will adhere enough to the PTFE and also fill an oversized hole in your  
ladder, for a perfect install. 
 
Another way to do it is to wrap a small piece of masking tape over the  spots 
that will be inserted into the wood. Masking tape adhesive sticks fairly  
well to PTFE. Then drop a drop of probond or ca to the holes. It's also a good  
idea to have the carbon rods inserted as the glue cures. No need for thread  on 
the teflon tube.

Hey guys,
 
I noticed this too that if you bound the Teflon  sleeve too tightly with the 
thread it would cause binding.  I solved  this by routing an 1/8" groove in 
the 1/4 balsa ladder deep enough to  hold the sleeve flush with the wood with my 
dremel tool. I have the  router table so it was an easy thing to do.  I then 
laid the rod and  sleeve in the groove and wrapped just tight enough to hold 
in place and hit  the thread wrap with thin c/a.

Troy, I hope I did not come across as bashing  the Central Hobbies DEPS but I 
did have better luck with the Teflon cases.  As I said, the system installed 
in my Majestic is soooooo smooth even with a  slight bow in the rods. The one 
I am putting in the Impact has the hard  plastic cases and they are not nearly 
as forgiving. I do remember when  setting up the Majestic I had to cut the 
system apart and redo before  installation because I wrapped the thread to 
tight. Either system will work  fine ounce you learn the tricks. I love the way it 
functions when done and  it eliminates any elev. tracking problems as long as 
the control horns  are exact. 
No insult intended! Brian
