Status: offline 		I have done it on my last 3 or 4 birds and it has worked GREAT! Dont have to worry about a connection coming loose, or the pins limiting power to the servo. Takes some of the worrys out of it for me!

Status: offline 		I am also assembling an WG 540 edge. I noticed the Pull-Pull rudder control horns are long and limit the movement of the rubber (they hit side of fuse). On my edgs the horn is out about 1 inch from rudder (to outside edge of horn and bolt is even), Has anybody else noticed this and what did you do about it? Will I getting enough movement on the rudder any way? I have not measured the movement of the rudder as I have just installed the horns.
Thanks

Status: offline 		First of all, on my WH 540, the bolt that came in the hardware package was 3" long. When you thread the horns on, the center to center distance is about 2 1/2". My servo horn is 3" center to center. So to keep these even, I used a bolt that's 3 1/2" long so as to keep my center to center the same as my servo horn measurment. Make sure your distance's are equal on both ends if your using a pull/pull setup.

Is there 2 holes in the plastic rudder horns? (Memory lapse) If there was, I think I used the inner one and ground off the extra to shorten the horn.
