Tim Mackey Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hello matey... hope you are fully recovered Apart from the obvious questions such as are you SURE he connected things up correctly, and that servos are working in correct direction etc ( a bit basic I know ...but then these things are often / usually simple explanations ) maybe it just lacked rudder authority in the particualr conditions / wind sheer etc? Personally I would just double check servo /control surface orientations, linkages secure etc, and then try it again with higher servo travel rates - after all, it must be something fairly simple - tug those servo leads hard remember !! what model is it ?

Tim Mackey Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 save me some buns...this diet has got to end soonProper configuration will give ( for right rudder ) moves the left surface of the V-Tail up and the right surface down PS Dont forget its the Llanduno annual "Victorian Extravaganza" weekend - traffic is terrible, zillions of peeps about the place so allow extra time and patience. I went today for a quick sortie, but although the wind seemed strong, the lift was non-existent and too southerly. Have fun, I hope to return up the rock Monday Morning.
