so, is there any thoughts or ideas on the lead out length from the lead out guide? just long enough to give max deflection of the bellcrank?
-
That's what I do plus an inch or more.

sounds like a plan. thanks Doc! ;D

I leave enough leadout in case I have to do the ends over again. n~

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that 8 inches is just about right. This leaves enough for any fixes, etc. But I will never, ever use solid lead outs again. They bend at the most inopportune times. Stay with .021 lead outs. D>K
Ty, i kinda just copied a plane a friend gave me cuz it flys very well. i ended up at 8.25". i think that means you got the closest bid without going over. you win the showcase showdown! ;D

Ty...As to attest to the solid leadouts, The 'bends' were the worst part, as any Navy diver could attest to...
but the noise was worse. "Sproiingg!" I used to catch 'em on the bedroom door jamb on the way out to my channeled Model A Coupe;
The F51 Sterling Mustang just fit inside the newly-'shallowed' trunkspace...then, another "Sproiingg"... and I knew I was 'In like Flynn'!
At the lineup, there was always someone on the wrong side, whether hooking up lines or 'just lookin', I would grit my teeth as the noise anticipated permeated my flesh, and ricocheted off my bones...."Sproiingg!"
My Mom had some picture hanging cable, so I 'purloined' some...then learned the LHS had it in a package! So long "Sproiingg!"
