While I’ve been building toy airplanes since 1968. I have to admit I’m a bit surprised at just how much stuff I’ve learned in the last year or so from the Aloft forum membership. I’m proof you can teach an old dog new tricks!
First, I want to thank Jonathan Wells for the 90° bent threaded push rod. This was key to getting a $1300 Redshift to work.
Second, I really want to thank Mo for his gang cantilevered servo mount. I was so dogmatic as to not using using cantilevered mounts that I’d never have come up with such an elegant solution to the servo in the Gremlin tail.
Thirdly, Jeremy (Diceman) for telling me about the use of thin CA as a clevis thread lock, simple and effective, particularly so in tight places. Historically I’ve used jam nuts but on the rudder push rod shown, here CA was perfect.
And last Doc, Hammond for showing me how to make epoxy surface wipers. This process really does make the repair of failed wipers an easy process.
Gentlemen thank you!
All the best,
Konrad
P.S.
Any briliant solutions to the laterally moving elevator push rod?
