Dana, I just finished glassing my df 26. I will finish assembly early morning and post some good pics for you. It will give you an idea regarding mounting. Looks great!! Tomorrow, MM.

Looking good Dana

FYI - I'm using a low profile servo that Steven has on OSE (Hitec HS-77BB). I also use them in 2 of my SAW Cats.

Looks great! How much can you move the strut up and down? What size tube are you using?

[dana]

Thanks. Prolly around 1/4 or so. Haven't measured yet but there is a ton of adjustment. I'm using 1/4 brass and .150 cable.

How big is the wet well tube?

[dana]

rich 5/8

[Rich]

Thanks Dana, how long is the wet well tube if you don't mind me asking? I am doing this on a similar build in the near future.

No prob rich. The 5/8 brass tube is about 3". I can measure when I get home. I wrapped it with carbon cloth before gluing in. On the previous page a posted a couple of pics and what I did. I prolly over built it but thats how I do it. Some guys are doing them where they silicone the stuffing tube into the wet well tube. I used maple so my stuffing tube doesn't move, all the movement is the Teflon and the gap between the end of the stuffing tube and strut. I'm not sure which is the better method, but mine is very water tight.
