Default RE: proper servo arms in jets?

Jamie,

This program was written by Oliver Nicolas (Ohlnico) and he has published it to the r/c community for free use.

I have found it excellent to figure out both simple and complex geometry.

With servos mounted inside the wing and the control arm and pushrod projecting outwards, it is difficult to get the right geometry. It is important to get as much servo throw as possible and not use too long an arm and then endpoints to get the correct throw. Your torque and resolution will be terrible.

I just recently looked at a guy's radio who was having problems with his set-up and found his EPA's set in the low 20's!!!
