Default RE: Mounting a servo on its side.

I should have put in the Tips & Techniques forum.. Brain cramp on my part....


I don't know what model PT-20 it is. It's older. I don't think it's the MK II that's being sold today. 52" wingspan. I even have the original box.

I wish to experiment with the side-ways servo configuration. I may need to use that type of setup in a future airplane. I've added a photo of the area, and the how I want the servo oriented.

The problem I see, is making the mount and surrounding area so I can mount it properly. And maintain it properly later.

I was thinking of using one of these on the servo arm.

I figured to attach this to this to the control rods. Then the servo would be mounted almost totall below the wing. It'd make it easier to screw the servo down. Easier to maintain it.


I'm mulling things around in my head. I hoped somebody had some pictures they could share.
