Yea the tape always seems to move on you once you try this you will see how positive it is. Glad the tips may help people out too.

Thanks Gary, I am just sorry it is not a newer plane where it might benefit more people.

Well I setup the surface travels today using the paper protractors as shown in post 30 and it was very easy to do and looks like I might have a new method. I liked the ability to that they were all available to test basically at the same time.

Okay I took a stab at mounting the ESC under the battery tray on the right side so basically the ESC lead comes up in the same spot. I think I like this better as the battery has air passage on all side now (but the bottom) and same with the ESC.
One mor inch of ESC battery wire would have been great.

Looks great Ray. Remember you can extend the battery leads on the ZTW ESC a little so long as they don't exceed 12" total from ESC to Battery.

Thanks Gary, I have heard that but must have missed that in writing. I will see how it goes. I will have to contact Tim to see what method they used to extend his.

I wanted to give an update on my plane. Pretty much ready to go but I have identified a problem (maybe) with my elevator servo. I have emailed Mike Mayberry but have not heard back from him and I will try calling Tower today if they are open. I think the problem might be a dead band issue but I don't know as none of my digital servos ever done this before. With everything powered up and the servos sitting in neutral I can take my elevator and move it up and down more than I would like. There is no slop in the linkages and I can see the servo arm actually moving back and forth. The first little amount of movement there is no resistance sound from the servo, then you can hear it. I removed the servo arm thinking that it might be a stripped broach on the 672 DuBro heavy duty arms but no they look great. I installed the short metal arm and the same thing. So at this point I am thinking gear lash but when I take the stick and move the control surface and try and move it I do not see this condition, so now I am thinking dead band. What really stinks is you buy $280 of servos and now I need to buy a programmer to fix what should be right from a new servo.
