Default RE: servo horns hitting inside canopy

RBCCONT .....From what I been told after mine was looked at by a Align pilot (He is actually a member of our local club....hard to believe, but true, go to www.larksrc.com, then go to the float fly in. read paragraph #4 ). Anyway, They look to be from the picture you have shown. The servo output shaft needs to be low in the mounting housing (180 from what you have pictures). This means you need to turn the servo upside down. And if you do, you will notice that the linkage will also slope up from the servo to the control arm. This is normal, all it does is move the linkage points further down in the canopy. I built 3 of these with the same method I was told, and it works great...No rubbing inside the canopy. You can also move the top linkage ball to the outside of the control arm with no problem. Hope this helps all of you having this problem with the canopy. I cant understand why they don't put this in the manual for these things.
