Can the roadkill series DC-3 can be flown without linking the
ailerons.
From : Don Stackhouse
It isn't shown on the instructions, but it's easy to do. Just hook up the
ailerons as shown, then mount the rudder servo under the wing and run the
pushrod from it back to the rudder and tailwheel.
Just about any of the RK Series models with larger wingspans (or even the
short span ones equipped with one of our new higher power motor system
options like the MPS-2A) can handle the extra weight. The DC-3 has plenty
of weight-carrying ability, especially with the new Li-poly batteries. Even
with the old NiMH cells I've flown it with a big 600 mah 6-cell pack and a
Hitec 555 receiver. The extra weight of one or even two more servos is not
a problem. I've been planning to try some scale split flaps in one, and I
was planning to use a separate rudder servo as well. The addition of
independent rudder opens up whole new possibilities for maneuvers.
