Need some work chopping off all the vent-risers, but I think you're up to it, sir. Should have all your masters and parts off this week.

Looks like this is the way to go with RCing the Das Derk 1/72 U-9.

Just one of many possible ways.

Dave, I’m always afraid of putting stress on the entrance/exit of the servo linkage while bending them, causing damage to the gasket. I use another pair of holders on the exit to ensure I don’t. You make it look easy and unnecessary. Also, I’ve never seen you slip that cut out WTC on when you bend the linkage. That’s a new one on me.

I have the complete range (diameter) of those 'linkage/pushrod integrating jigs' but this appears to be the first picture I've posted of one being used.







Though I'm long out of production-mode of WTC assembly, I still break out the relevant tooling, jigs. fixtures and documents (not lost in the flood) when the need arises.

What was once a business is now again a hobby.

Do you find the Z bend always the easiest to use, and does it have the best range of motion?

Good range of (rotational) motion, marginal anti-back-lash. But good enough for us. Chosen because I'm from the school of, 'don't permit perfection to become the death of accomplishment'. If it works, don't fix it.
