Control surface throw question
As I adjusted the elevator control rods I started by adjusted both to the same length and then installing them. To get the elevators neutral I had to make one rod longer than the other. If I go to full up the travel is 29 mm on the left side and 34 mm on the right. To me a 5 mm difference is a big deal and I would think induce a roll moment to right on landing. In looking further it looks like the right elevator servo doesn't have the arm center. How do I get the servo out without butchering the stab. The plan is to maiden on Saturday and then fly at a fun scale event. Should I be concerned about this of am I just being too anal? I can adjust the center trim to bring both both elevators up to about at the bottom of the dimples on the aft side of the fuse. I was pretty happy about that
Thanks
