Olnico, sorry to veer off subject slightly, but in one of your other posts you mentioned setting up a new model then leaving it outside for i think aeound 30 minutes running ''servo test'' mode on your radio, thus cycling the servos back and forth.
How do you prevent the servos from overtravelling while in servo test mode ? i reckon that mode moves them +-100% travel.
Hi Lior.
Your servos should always be used at 100% of their travel to get the best precision and torque available to the flight control.
Use the flight control calc sheet, to obtain this:

Here is the method of setting the flight control geometry correctly:
