Umm...Building my first Plane
The might Kadet LT-40 ARF... really excited...
question.... are there any tricks to get the pushrod z-bend into the servo without breaking anything??
I'm having a heck of a time
the servo is installed...should I unscrew it, insert the pushrod and then reinstall the servo??
also
I have Futaba S3004 servos... they have a Wheel instead of an arm.....does it matter what hole I put the pushrod in as long as it is even??
Thanks in advance....
Cool!!
Remove the wheel from the servo to install the Z bend. (The wheel is held on with a small phillips head screw) Ensure that the servo is set to mid travel and reinstall the wheel with the z-bend in the mid-travel position.
Use the combination of servo wheel hole and control horn hole that gives you the control throw specified by the manufacturer I start with the middle hole in each, measure the throw, then move the z-bend into different holes (one at a time) until I get the throw I need. If you need more throw, move the z-bend toward the outside of the wheel or closer to the hinge line on the control horn. Vice versa for less throw.
HTH
