Accucraft Ragleth - fitting RC

Post by SVLR » Sun Apr 19, 2020 7:06 pm

I have at last got around to having a go at phase 1 conversion ie basic single servo just on the forward-reverse lever. I have taken the body off and almost finished the servo mounts. My question is (and I have looked around for an answer) is how do you stop it locking in position? I am thinking its a case of removing the spring. Any advice, pictures videos, weblinks that would help would be very much appreciated.

Could you describe how you have done this?
I have an Edrig that has RC on the regulator and I’d like to add a servo to the reverser if possible.
Many thanks

The forward, neutral & reverse positions of the reverser lever are fixed using an M2 bolt which goes into the appropriate slot.

So either unscrew or fully remove that M2 bolt. Job Done.

I did the same as Chris when I had a Ragleth:

That was so easy (and so obvious when I realised duh!) Thanks for the tip Chris,

Thank you for that, it’s looks much simpler than I thought it was going to be. :thumbleft:
