For trimming just press fit into plastic motor mount (gray). glue it after correct downthrust is achieved. Why heat shrink tubing? If removal is needed, it's easier to cut the the HS tube, remove the rod, then extract the tubing. The mounting screws also hold the LG. |

| pfinn | Scratch Built Twinster | Build | 09-Jan-10 20:46 |  | | Views : 996 | | Here's the "Simple, Stupid" dual rudder linkage. Made a small "Staple" with a loop and two opposite 90 deg. "Z" bends on the con. rod ends. I used overstreched guitar string for the wire. Adds more "Springy" because of the work hardening. |
