[rebel-builders] Moose: Elevator trim (crush tube)...was: Ray Allen Servo
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:29 pm
Yes, I'm familiar with the engineering aspect of columns and
tension/compression. It sounds like the mounting method is to place the
tube over the rod and fill it with Pro Seal. If I'm understanding this
right, I'm not sure the end result is a true column since it's not really
being loaded at either end. I guess if you can but it up against both ends
of the rod tightly that'd help.
Another suggestion might be to mount the rod further away from the trim
section on the horn gaining some leverage that way. CW
