Rudder pull-pull?

[Atwood, Mark]

I'm sure you'll get a myriad of replys...so I'll join in.   I like to
use coated steel fishing line.  Cheap, strong, simple.  It's
coated...never had a problem with crossing.  Also, no need to crimp or
use ugly heavy connectors...just loop it through, twist it around itself
3 or 4 times and take a match to it.  It'll melt the coating and bind to
itself.  I've snapped 20lb test line PRIOR to the melted binding
breaking.  A LOT more stress than it'll ever see in flight.

Subject: Rudder pull-pull?


Hi again all,

So what's the verdict with the Rudder pull-pulls? I'm about to cross
that bridge again this evening. This time I was considering crossing
over the wires/chord/trace to get better geometry. I'm a little paranoid
about crossing the wires( should I use the 'metallic' variety) as I
think they might touch using this method. The resulting 'noise' might
not be desirable to the radio.

The Du-Bro stuff is aesthetically pleasing ( small fittings etc) but
stretches. Kevlar is good-just a pain to fit-off and uses the bigger
uglier eyelets and/ but it too stretches ( maybe through the fittings?).


I've now got some SIG .015 C/L cable but I'm not to keen on fitting it
either. It is stainless and un-sheathed. Cant quite work out how to fit
it off. Soldering (soft) has been unsuccessful sofar. Crimping might
look too much like a hit and miss affair.

The servo end ( horns) seems to be another area of concern I have. I've
resorted to making a horn from circuit board to get a 2" spacing and
screwing it to the top of the existing horn ala MK style.

All in all I'm not to comfortable with any of my options...I'm yet to
find THE set up. I too want to eliminate stretch.

What are you guys doing out there in Pattern world ...I know its a
silly, and to some degree an elementary question, but I just need to
find a better way.

Thanks for any ideas or solutions.

Tom
