I just changed out my steering pushrod. I had made one out of a carbon arrow shaft with 4-40 ends and recently noticed the ends were giving and coming back bent. I bought some 1/8 stainless rod and cut it the same length. I used a die and threaded both ends for 6-32 and then I ran a 6-32 tap into monster 4-40 ball links and then threaded them onto the shaft. It definitely solved the issue. Good to hear you’re making progress with the boat! Keep us updated!
Yep Mark Bullard had showed that trick about using ss welding rod a long time ago.
YES! Exactly!"In the lead by half a lap"....
that's when it pays to have a very experienced caller..one of my mentors that called for me was very calming.. he would settle me down when things like that would start to happen.
He could see it coming and tell me to back down...you've got this won...just need to finish..your going into the wind now...
It was great to have a voice of reason standing beside me, when all I wanted to do is keep the hammer down !!
Thanks Louie (RIP)
When you do the radio range check it's best to have the engine running. Vibration could cause electrical noise that may interfere with radio range and/or performance.
