Twin Tail Servo Linkage

[wgt40w]

Could one of you guys with a Skyhunter or similar please post up a picture of the servo linkage used to operate a twin tail ??

Hopefully a linkage system where the servo is actually fitted into one of the tails.

I haven't put rudders on mine but if I did I would use two servos, one in each rudder and the solder the leads together and run the extension lead up the boom.

"operate a twin tail" in what way? yaw, pitch? I'll just show what I've got on my skyhunter

for starters, there is no rudder, on either of the two rear vertical stabilisers... there's no need for one and the addition of rudders in an unnecessary added complication (whilst not complicated in the slightest, it's still a lot of work where there is no need)

as for the elevator, the servo is embedded into the horizontal stabiliser, right in the middle, and the servo horn is connected to the horn on the control surface using a pushrod, exactly the same way an aileron servo would be installed into a wing.

However, the void for the servo is on the underside of the horizontal stabiliser so I installed my servo horn so it pokes through the stabiliser pointing to the sky rather than being something to get easily snagged on by grass upon landing.

The servo cable is then merely fed down the carbon boom, into the main wing and into the fuselage to the Vector OSD
