DS tail control rod rubbing on fuselage?

[tgiencke]

On my Diabolo S (#14) with the tail control rod having a straight shot from the servo horn to the control pivot arm; the rod is rubbing on the fuselage at the very end. This rubbing is causing a 2hz tail wag with the fuselage on.

Before I cut a slot in the fuselage, what have others done with this issue?[IMG][/IMG]

Mine doesn't even come close. My guess is you have your fuse riding too high in the back.. See if you can press it down so it will stop contacting.

This is a bellcrank from the Diabolo. The arm of the S bellcrank is 4mm shorter. Can you place the thread for yourself?

The quick answer is, no there isn't enough material to have the holes 4mm away from each other.

(Gerd I sent you a private message)

I have asked if you would be in the situation to cut a M3 thread hole for yourself. If not please send the bellcrank to Peak.

Thanks Gerd, I'll contact Chuck to have him drill & tap the hole. I can't with that precision.
