An inch tall CL arm just won't cut it. I could stall a 580 ounce servo with very little effort. Mine is now 1 1/2 inch tall, and the improvement is amazing! Going flying Thursday.

The stabilator horn looks to be at least an inch tall from CL to rod end attachment. That would yield a 2:1 advantage, doubling torque from the servo.
