Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose: Elevator trim (crush tube)...was: Ray Allen Servo
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:12:08 -0600


Part # is "Crush Tube" listed as EL--0032 in the manual. I thought it was
per a service bulletin, but none is shown on the website. The issue is that
the trim tab actuator arm is simply a 1/4-28 threaded rod. That rod will
bend under moderate force. Hence, once one has the rod cut to proper length
and tested for successful full up/down trim travel, one is to spread proseal
on the threaded rod then slide the crush tube over it. The crush tube,
therefore, is simply an aluminum sleeve (pipe, per se).

Hope this helps and makes sense,

Ted

Fred,

AFAIK, every Moose owner uses this combination servo/actuator arm. Put

the

sleeve on as per the service bulletin (get a sleeve at your local hardware
store if you don't have one already).

Hi Guys,

I'm currently installing the elevator trim tab servo motor on my moose
quick
build.. The one MAM shipped is manufactured by The Ray Allen Company.

Everything (motor casing, clevis forks) is made out of a hard plastic
material. The push rod itself is a threaded metal rod, though.

My questions: Is anyone else using this set up? If not, which system

are

you using?

I confess, I'm a little concerned about those flimsy little clevis forks
and
the plastic drive pin....especially in cold weather.


Thanks,

Fred
