This makes it very easy to remove without unscrewing the servo horn! Thanks ! Been looking at this hobby on youtube for about 3 years and just now found this.
Interesting and informative video! Thanks for sharing this video!
Good demo and technique though twice as much wire as you need and a lot of excess weight....unless you need additional strength so it doesn't flex
What can I use that doesn't flex??
Wouldn't it be lighter to just use a short retaining piece on the end instead of making a double control rod? We called it "wrapping the wire with thread" in the 70s when building control line jobs. It was just common knowledge and we didn't think of it as a new invention even then. I believe this method has been used since the 16th century dawn of control rods.
good
He must be a surgeon with this hobby.
great info!
I think its simplier and easier if you just make Z bends on each end. you only need one piano wire for each servo..watch the maker hangar episodes..
Hi, great video!
i'm wondering what is the tool you used to make the knot....is it something for fishing? how does it work?
The strange item is a "Whip Finishing Tool". It is used for making the finishing not when you tie flies for fly-fishing. You may just as well tie the not by hand, but once you have learnt to use a tool, you never look back.
Very inspiriting,
Kjell do file off tips of rod? Look kinda sharp...
Filing down the wire ends would probably be a good idea. The ends are not sharp enough to cut yourself on, but it is quite easy to cut the thread on the end of the wires by pulling on it while it rests on the edge. That is super annoying. Done it many times.
Everyone calls it piano wire but where do you get this stuff???
I have only found piano wire in hobby stores.
i use carbon rod with a piece of piano wire it saves weight... but this technique you cannot adjust the length of the rod once glued....
Yeah.. same here, and wrap it with shrink tube and CA. That's do it..I fly foamie so I don't want excessive weight don't I.
As useless iron, it was enough that you did in the form of ze saw that remained well hooked
Naturally it is better and easier to use z-bends. This technique only makes sense when a double z-bend wire can not be installed. This is often the case for short pushrods in planes where the servo is buried in the wing.
couldn't you use heat shrink and CA rather than all the fly fishing line?
Sure you could, but fly silk is much stronger and weighs much less. The weight might be less important, but the fact that lacquered fly silk will hold piano wired fixated forever is kind of important.
True, on a more expensive plane the stronger silk line would be a plus and heat shrink for cheap foamies.
What is the gauge of that wire?
That's a good idea, it can be welding with a soldering iron that way you don't have to use 2 long wires

Just use some old guitar strings, that you have laying around.
