Anyone used this steering system, and what are you thoughts and experiences with it?
Mine came with no instructions or 'line' with it :(

Never used one, but it looks simple enough.
Mark the center of your steering cable with a piece of tape.
Loop the left side around the pulley, up through the holes and
back out around the pulley then repeat with the right side, and for as
many rudders as you have mounted.
Attach a set of Dubro Kwik Grip E/Z Connectors (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD927&P=7) or Dubro E/Z Connectors (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD925&P=7) to
the servo control arm, and then run some hooked rods through the dubro
connectors. Tie off each end of the control cable to the hooks, then pull
the hooks through the dubro connectors to tighten the cable for tension.

Thanks Umi :)
I'm still getting some 'slippage', but I'll keep keep at it!

I know that for full scale boats they will sometimes take a round turn or two around the rudder head (for more contact area on the rudder) and should prevent slipping.

I use mine with one wrap arround the pullys on my Dumas osprey . Works great , and it is taxi tested tough to at least 15 mph ( after that the speed and props do strange things to the handling )
