David,

You may recall that we had the discussion about servo arms and length while I was building mine, since you already had yours flying. I did set mine up like yours with the standard short servo arm. My arm lenth was the same as yours. Like you, I had to cut out the servo cover so the entire clevis would fit through it.

The reason they put the bleachers behind you is so the rest of us could hide behind them while you fly!!!

So far as piloting skill, it doesn't take much skill to bend the transmitter stick till it breaks, only adrenalin.
