TimBle,
the bracing will be required. By default, the spring moves the lever back to idle not front to idle. In other words, the servo has to push to open the throttle (I hope I make sense), without the bracing the rod will just flex out of alignment. By the way, is the nyrod only for preventing metal to metal contact? If so, there is no point in getting it, ball links on both sides will serve the purpose. I may need to use 4-40 though as 2-56 full threaded isint available on Tower either
a1pcfixer,
the free RX is a gimic. By default the 8FG / TM-8 module comes set to 8 channels. To use a 617fs you have to set a small switch to 7 channels on the back of the thing (anyone with a 8FG please confirm this). The switch is so small, it will get damaged after a few times switching. I have a TM8 module on my 9cap and I sold off all my 617fs RX and bought 6008hs to get get around this problem. So the free RX is not desired. Wish Tower would deduct the price of the RX and ship me the 8FG

hmmm well I have my servo and throttle lever set up so the servo is pulling to open the throttle and the return spring closes the throttle so the nyrod is always in tension. I instaled the phenolic throttle arm reverser supplied with the engine. Thats how it works in my plane. No bracing required. If Ameyam has his different, then so be it. Just illustrating there is another way. But I guess I'll be told how wrong I am one more time
The T8FG is not a module radio. It is dedicated 2.4 so in order to use a R617FS you select 7CH from the Frequency menu. So you sold off the R617FS Rx's for nothing. The T8FG is completely backwards compatible with them. The free Rx will be useful.
