I sent this one out the other day, and I never saw it show up. Perhaps I just missed it? Pat
Kris, this is a very old message which you chose to reply. Thanks for the info, but I scored a new old stock (nos) u-joint from a builder on the list. I've since designed my own stick config. moving the sticks 2.5" forward of the stock location. But now I'm in the process of designing a system that will mix in a little elevator as aleron, to eliminate the need for the anti-servo tabs. See: http://www.davemorris.com/dave/dflymix.html for more onfo. Pat Kris Browne wrote: > > At 05:23 PM 10/7/97 -0700, you wrote: > > >Yes it does.
