| Gumby had to figure how to apply force from the control stick so it torqued the elevator bell cranks in the proper direction. Though not pretty the linkage works! Hats off to those of you who build models with servos and linkages. This area of aeroplane construction requires mastering a whole new and complex skill set incorporating areas of expertise that neither Gumby or me wish to venture into! |

| That's pretty impressive. I played around with it for my PT-17, but decided that a joystick was too complicated. My hat's off to you. By the way, in a earlier build thread did I see you trying to punch holes in paper with a round ball? |

| Don C....The only round balls that I use to punch paper, leave the end of a muzzle loader. They punch holes in many things very well:-) |

| I thought I saw a Pennsylvania rifle. Me too - 50 cal mountain rifle. |

| Don, I have 4. One is flintlock Penn. long rifle in 50 caliber. I also have a 54 cal Hawkin that I assembled and finished. I use Crisco as a lube and love the smell of the Crisco in the smoke. |
