Servo Gear Saver
Taxiing over rough ground imposes severe shocks on the rudder’s servo gears. To soften the impact, try gluing a dowel across the bottom of the rudder, then looping a rubber band lightly over the dowel and around the tail-wheel tiller arm. The rubber band now acts as a very effective shock absorber. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
