6.2.4 Steering
22.
Locate the parts, steering mount, 2 ea. SM-A,
and 2 each of the 22mm hardwood rails.
Using slow CA or 5-minute epoxy, glue the
SM-A parts to the back of steering mount as
shown.
Once cured, bevel the lower rear edge of the
servo mount.
Mount the 22mm hardwood rails onto the
desired steering servo.
Note:
An Airtronics
94557 (43/54 in-oz) mini servo was used on
the prototype model.
With the hardwood rails still mounted to the
servo, using 5-minute epoxy, glue the
hardwood rails onto the front face of the
steering mount as shown.
Caution:
For turbine, recess assembly into
fuselage so it doesn’t collide with fuel lines.
23.
Install two “EZ-connectors” opposite one
another on the servo arm. With the arm
installed on the servo, the “EZ-connector”
orientation should be vertical as shown.
Using a slow cure epoxy with micro balloons
to thicken, glue the steering servo mount
assembly into the nose bay.
Note:
The
assembly should be located at the rear right
of the wheel well out of the way of retraction
of the nose gear.
24.
Place a 1/16” brass tube into each EZ-
connector and lightly tighten the set screws
so that the brass tubes do not move.
Route the steering cable from the nose
retract placing one cable end into one of the
brass tubes and the other cable end into the
other brass tube.
With the nose retract down and locked, pull
tight each of the steering cables (using a
locking tool like forceps) until the nose wheel
is centered well.
Note:
For best results, have
the steering servo powered on through a
radio and centered.
Once satisfied with the positioning of the
nose wheel and steering cables, use a
crimping tool to pinch the brass tube onto the
steering lines. Your steering lines are now
complete.
Make minor adjustments as necessary to true
up the nose wheel so that the aircraft tracks
straight, then fully tighten the EZ-Connector
set screws.
Note:
Two crimps at the forward most part of
the brass tube should be sufficient to hold the
cable in place. Use a bead of Zap CA on the
cables after crimping if desired.
