There is no justice

Of course, when they have a new plane, guess who they ask to check it, fly it to trim and balance, and assist them by taking the xmitter to save them when they get the jitters

[MENTION=4]3dNater[/MENTION] - I like it - sorta like 1/2 of a vortex to change directions

Amen brother!

Awesome thread. :clap:

Advice please

I prefer to have servo throws that are able to reach the mechanical limit of the airframe

This means extending the servo arms or programming more travel thru the transmitter or some of both.

Is there a best way?

Any gotchas?

The goal ought to be getting the max travel with the shortest arms possible. This maximizes servo torque and resolution.

This means maxing out the end points in your transmitter. It is highly possible that you might need to remove a little material from the fuse to allow the max travel for your servo arms.

You ought to do the above before resorting to longer servo arms. In my case the stock arms were long enough.

Thanks - I have a defective elevator servo to rework - I will use this approach

I keep catching myself thinking about adding lights to this plane... Has anyone tried that at all?

I've put the twisted light kit on my edge. We live in town and when my son flys in the front yard people pull over to the side of the road to watch the show.

Fun stuff!

Nate, you have a Laser?
