After hearing a bout Barry's incident I tested the stock arms to determine how much force it took to bend or twist the arms. I put the base of the arm assembly in a vise and used a luggage scale attached at the far end of the bearings. It took 40 lbs of pull to bend the stock arm. I then repeated the test with an "Integy" arm which started to bend at 60lbs of pull. A 50% improvement.
I also counterbalanced
the Stabilators.
I have not yet flown this arrangement.
Ill ll now try to post photos. I also had to recess the servo to allow for the thicker arms.
