Michaelis, in fact, has no employees and never did. RDS was a labor of love and a gift to the modeling fraternity involving zero compensation on the sale of the Kimbrough Products injection molded couplers that can be used to install the system.
When, in an RDS installation, the servo is installed through an opening in the bottom skin, the removed skin becomes a cover to tape back .No horn or rod is used, so there is nothing sticking out beyond the skin that needs covering. Super neat and effective! Most moldie manufacturers have defeated the use of the RDS, for flaps anyway, by making wings with servo wells oriented at 90 degrees to the hingeline, instead of the 45 degrees needed. Pity to still see stuff hanging out and covers with bulges on them when it is all so unecessary. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Sheen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Soaring" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 12:41 PM Subject: Re: [RCSE] Servo trays and RDS site > Covers?!?
