Default RE: Question on throws


ORIGINAL: lablover

Hope this isn't a stupid question but....

Is it more important to have 90 deg rod to the servo arm...Or is it more important to have the servo arm 90 deg to the servo? I think this is the part thats confusing me. If I set everyting on the TX to zero and set my servo arm 90 deg to the servo, one one servo I can not get the control rod 90 deg to the servo arm. Now If I remove the servo arm and re-place it on the spline where it's no longer 90 deg to the servo, I CAN get the control rod 90 deg to the servo arm.

I bet I'm screwing this up big time?

I can't thank you guys enough for the help

Ther servo arm being 90 degrees to the servo is arbitrary with respect to surface throws. You can treat the servo as if it were just a point that the servo horn pivots around. It is more important to have the linkage/rod 90 degrees to the servo horn, tangent to the circular path that it travels.

This is good.
