Status: offline 		I just got my 50cc SU-26 Today, Arrived Double boxed and in perfect condition, Thanks Tom ! Not a single ripple or wrinkle in the covering either out of the box, first time I ever saw that.

Anyway.... I'm putting together a shopping list and was wondering what servo arms I should use on my hitec 5955tg's . would like brad names and legnth's for the ailerons, elevators and also the pull-pull arm I should use. This is my first gasser and I have never had the need for akuminum arms on a model before, any help would be appreciayed.


Thanks

Don

Status: offline 		For Hitecs I always just use the arms that came with the servo, they are excellent. The exception is the rudder, I like the 3" Air Wild arm, that's why I sell it.

Use 1.25" on the other servos.

Status: offline 		If you want to use Al. arms get the same size and use either AirWild or MLP arms.. both are great.

If you are a 3Der then I would def. use the Al arms instead. On my 260 I had the nice platic black arms that come with the Hitecs and out of curiousity I pushed on the surface a bit hard after 25 or so flights and I could flex both arms (wing has 2 servos).

The MLP arms go on so tight you could fly without screws literally hah.. need a screw driver to pry them off.

I have well over several hundred flights of mainly 3D with mine and haven't had a problem?

Status: offline 		He meant not for long without the screws in. It might take a screwdriver blade, some muscle and some cussing to get 'em off in the workshop, but start the engine up and take off and you'll see 'em pop off like a drunk gi...oops, aint going there...
