Can you help me with the Chrysalis 2-meter MkII spoiler pushrod shape:
From : Don Stackhouse
Sorry about the confusion. On the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words,
here's a photo. BTW, please disregard the other horn left over from the old Mk I version up
in the corner next to the rib, and the little clump of dried mud I didn't notice until after
I took the picture!
Note, in this particular one, I didn't need very much of a kink in the middle of the
pushrod to get the spoiler to be exactly closed (without stalling the servo) when the
servo was in the "closed" position. On most installations there would probably be more
of a kink in the middle of the pushrod. You adjust the length of the pushrod by holding
the wire with needle-nosed pliers on both sides of the kink, and then bending the kink
to a wider or narrower angle as required. You can do this from underneath if the covering
over that bay is cut out, or you can do it from above when the spoilers are open.
