Servo arm
How did u guys manage the servo arm screw installation in the stabs. I am stumped. Can seem to figure it out. After market metal control horns futaba type seem to fit. But don’t want to install without the screws on top of the arm

I installed the servo with the arm attach to the servo.....needed to make the servo holes a little bigger. I also used a piece of tread to raise the arm slowly to the surface....one side clear fine the other not so much so I had to make it a little bigger to clear the arm....

I did the same, installed them with the arms attached, then used a piece of thin wire to hook and raise them into place. I also make the servo arm holes a little bigger. -Tom

Thanks for your replies much appreciated, I also increased the size of the servo arm hole and then installed without the screw, later drilled a 2mm hole slightly above the servo arm slot and used an Allen key to tight the nut as I have installed a futaba plastic arm and later will upgrade to a metal arm, so this way i wont have to remove the servo all together,
I am going for PB cockpit with on a 7.4v setup to get max torque from the blue bird a920 servos going to use a 2 to 1 servo harness from powerbox for the flap and aileron servos.
I am also planning to power the retracts thru the powerbox to reduce 1 battery. - any suggestions on this method anybody done this ?

blind nuts will damage / destroy the mount / formar / LG. Incase of hard landings........go for normal wood screws provided in the hardware which will rip out of the wood saving the LG, IMO as experienced a very hard landing recently with the EUROSPORT

Hi All
What i did is soldered a servo cable to the power lead of the JP unit and plugged this to one of the DS ( door Sequencer) slot on the PB cockpit and it works just fine. the engine was installed thurst tube mounted and aligned tank with bvm uat, installed I did a test run of the engine all looks good, no leaks, time for all the cosmetics now and CG.
Thanks Mark for the link will order it for my fpv use.

I ordered another Mini T1
I never really liked the color of my origial Mini T1 so I sold it... my thinking was maybe try something else about the same size... I looked at Joker ,nice but felt somewhat cheap? Not sure that is fair ...but it did not look in person as high quality as the Mini T1.
I also looked at Bandit Evo BVM but I emailed Patty 4 times for quotes and got no response....
So I text Dirk 30 seconds later he text back... and after me driving Dirk crazy to make sure I get the color I wanted it was done.
Bottom line GREAT service and a very high quality kit swayed me back to another Mini T1. Please keep this in mind if your on the fence for a small Jet.
call Dirk and he will take care of you.

I mounted the smoke tank there, (hope it can handle the weight). I did not mount up the rest of the smoke stuff until I fly it. I did fire it up today and the little K85 seems to have very good power. I fly off grass so am most concerned with it being able to take off and land short and light on the wheels. You kept stock throws and such on yours?

I went with the throws posted by Loir in this thread. As mentioned in this thread the ailerons are very effective, you don’t need much. I’m also running a K85, lots of power. I decided against smoke in this one.
