1. This is a high performance turbine. Without the part the servo is meant to be in, a better alternative than double sided tape is needed.
2. Gyro stabilized at 100 mph plus, that servo is going to be twitching almost constantly in anything but absolutely calm air. The tape will hold heat in the servo potentially causing failure.
3. I've never had much luck using double sided tape for long on anything but an absolutely smooth surface, so unless the inside if the servo cover is as smooth as the visible side, its going to come loose.
4. Mounting it in that matter puts all the stress of the servo unit, not on the supporting structure where it is meant to be, but on the screws holding the servo cover in place. These screws are fine for holding the servo cover, but when you add in the stress of holding the servo as it moves the linkage, it will overstress the screws, causing them to posblbly break or strip.
Instead, if the servo frame was missing from the kit, either wood blocks, or aluminum angle, cut to fit in the space provided, using the existing mounting holes, would be a better option if the poster did not want to wait for replacements from CARF.
Does this clarify my post for you better, Dave? Happy now?
