Pull pull rudder was created by tommy
Just a quick question. I'm building a large electric sukhoi 26. Do you guys generally cross the pull pull wires between servo and rudder control surface ? Very mixed opinions online. I'm thinking of crossing them as geometry seems better but will this not produce excessive chaffing of wires ? Thanks

I have always crossed them, unless the instructions say not to, if the geometry looks better crossed then i would definitely cross them

Never had an issue with the wires chaffing as they tend to be nylon coated anyway

Yes defo cross them! As Chris said they are plastic coated and for spot on geometry the servo arm should be the same width as the rudder horn
