Question #1

Arms fully up: elbows should contact the body (upper travel end), this way 'chute opening shock won't -pull- on servos possibly damaging them. I'm I correct? First pic on the left.

Question #2

Arms fully down: travel must be reduced so that servo arms won't interfere if both jumper arms are pulled down simultaneously. Referring to 2nd picture from the left, right servo arm should not travel more than the green line.

Last picture shows real question; once servo travel is adjusted so servo arms don't interfere, jumper arms lower that much: is it enough? Should I shorten the clevis some more (yellow circle)?

Question #3

How much should the release pin stick out of the body (red circle)?

Thanks for your help!
