Aileron cyclic linkage 50V2
Raptor 50 V2...Has anybody tried setting up the linkages at 90 degrees on the aileron cyclic servo arm to the levers. I have a heavy duty jr servo arm that will put the linkages @ 90 degrees instead of the angled set-up that is in the stock form. Any benefits, thoughts, or comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Dont mess with the geometry, it works just fine the way its supposed to. Use the lengths in the book.
The aileron bell cranks aren't going to end up at 90 degrees either if you set it up right, its the way its designed.
http://www.raptortechnique.com follow his build guide and you can't go wrong.

The grey aileron bell cranks are shaped the way they are because of the geometry of the aileron servo to bell crank not being 90.
Saying same basic thing as barracuda here. No reason to try to "fix" as it is desigend to work exactly as is

I believe this is the non-90° aileron lever that compensates for the non-90° servo arm links.
Good Luck,
