Default RE: Servo arm centering

Seems I'm not the only one with this "problem". A couple of my friends just got new Futabas and couldn't get the arms centered. I showed them how to do it. I would think this should be explained in the manual. If there wasn't a problem with the 12 spline, then why did Futaba go to a 13 spline?

I went to the Futaba servos page as you suggested. The only one that fits my needs is the S3002, you show it as 53 oz torgue, in Tower catalog they show only 36 oz. In their Tower Talk, they show 53oz, but the check list says it is not suitable for airplanes ???..Anyway, no way can I afford $50 for a servo, as I need 5 of them. It's getting to be a rich man's hobby.

Well, I don't want to beat a dead horse. But it seems that instead of solving problems for us fliers, Futaba is just creating new ones. As I said, I like my 6yg, and the rx is ok, fortunately the Airtronics servos are now compatible.

Thank you for your prompt reply, no further assistance is needed.
