Sounds good! Feel free to show us your set up, always good to see how other do things..


Well the dang school I was doing is now done and I have time to work on the pitts, praise be to god..

I ordered better hardware for installing the aluminum servo arms and made a simple little jig for getting them straight, I programed my servos and got them centered.. I think this will help out a bunch when tweaking everything, I tapped the servo arm as well as the nylon wheel, then back it up with a locknut. I was able to use 4-40 button head caps 3/8" long with a 4-40 locknut and still have clearance on my servo. The Hyperion servos I am using, use futaba arms.. I have some futaba disks that give me plenty of meat to screw the aluminum arms to.. Anyone see a problem doing it like this? I really don't feel like dishing out $100 bucks for servo arms, but will if folks don't think my set up is up to the task.. I never had a nylon disk fail nor ever heard of any body having one fail.. Thoughts!!! I also got my props drilled out and mounted along with the spinner, it's looking like an aeroplane now!
