Default RE: Hangar 9 33% Edge 540 - Part 3

My receiver and servos no longer feed from one of the 4s flight packs to keep the two power systems as equal as possible. I now use a 2s 3200mAh BalancePro Lithium pack to feed the Power Force Regulator. The Dean's Ultra connector plugs right into the regulator and I can still balance the pack on every charge using the BalancePro 2s charger. Alternatively, a 2s Cellpro setup would work here as well.

My dual rudder servo project was started by removing the existing control horn and installing the threaded rod that also comes in the Hangar 9 (HAN3614) 8-32 Swivel Clevis Horn kit. It's a dual kit so you get two of everything and then a choice of threaded rods or screws. I also used a second Hangar 9 (HAN3557) Titanium Pro-Link 4-40 x 5" and another (HAN3616) 4-40 HD Ball Link.

I realized that I was missing a long 30" JR HD extension cable to connect the new servo to the new Matchbox so I'll be visiting my local hobby shop (Performance Hobbies) tomorrow so I can complete the job and move onto battery pack installation.
