Default RE: WHAT SIZE SERVO ARMS?

[quote]ORIGINAL: sillyness

I've heard some say that the AirWild arms are a little loose on the splines. My AirWild 3" (Extra 300S) rudder horn isn't as tight as I'd like. The SWB's (8611's and 5945's) and gold JR arms (8611's) seem to fit a good bit tighter.

I've had the same experience with the Air Wild, and other noted arms. Others have been completly satisfied.

A control arm that does not fit extremely tight on the output shaft will permit quite a bit of slop, perhaps contributing to a future flutter problem. It will also cause excessive wear in the gear train of the servo, eventually leading to a servo failure. On any type of servo!

Bottom line, I like em tight!
