RE: Extreme Flight Vanquish 2m Build Thread
Hey again! I've got some new information regarding the mounting of Futaba S9650 servos inside the elevator halves. I made some measurmenets:
o the distance between the pre-drilled mounting holes in the elevators is 38,5 mm;
o the distance between the mounting holes on the S9650 is 43 mm;
o the length of the slot right now (I filed around 1,5mm total) is 34 mm;
o the length of the S9650 is 36 mm and of the JR DS3421 - 33mm;
My model was bought from lindinger.at and is probably one of the first batches. The cowl is not removable. The servo, horns, tubes, wing screws and cooling holes are also pre-opened in the covering.
In conclusion I could say that I'd have to open the slot by at least 1,5-2mm more and re-drill two of the four mounting holes (most probably the ones that are opposite to the servo cable) 4,5 mm apart from the old ones.
Could you please check whether my thoughts are correct and give me an advice? It'd also be appreciated to see some other people's experiences with the Vanquish and S9650.
Thank you!
