hey guys,
i guess the US Customs spooks finally got bored of probing my boat for messages from Saddam or bomb or something, because it came this afternoon!!
all i've done is start to wipe the dust off the hull and the old grease off the engine, but i've got some q's if yall would be so kind as to take a shot:
i havent connected the servo rods yet, but it seems that turning the engine to the side opposite the throttle rod would pull on the throttle rod and make the engine rev....what's stopping this from happening?
the only servos i have are regular ol' Futaba S3003s, will one of them be powerful enough to turn the engine using a pull-pull [both servo arms have a rod connected to them as opposed to an inboard's rudder, which just has one, hence pull-pull instead of pull-push] config.?
also, should i be expecting as much tippiness in an OB rigger as an IB rigger? more? less?
thanks,
Joe
