Jonathan, which servo arm is the blue one? I normally use SWB arms but these look good. As you said to get full servo travel sometimes you have to have these very short modified arms. At times, I have cut them down to 3/8 inch on ailerons, to get full resolution and the right travel.

Did you think about driving the aileron hinge directly with a ball link (getting rid of the aileron horn completely)? I know you would have a cantilevered "twisting" moment on the hinge but it looks strong enough with that over engineered carbon
