Alpenbrise design notes.

A little more progress. The elevator control uses a 2mm tie rod between the elevator halves. Normally you would use a ball link, but I don’t have one that fits. Luckily the Tomas Liu clevis’ uses a 2mm hole for a perfect slop free fit.

Careful with that. I had the same exact plan, but ran into some binding in the plane. Think you have to have a ball link there as the servo rotates you get enough misalignment to cause trouble. I have some coming from MPjet. Hmm, need to see where that shipment is.

Great I'll take a look, good to know you have a potential solution on the way if this binds.
