Default RE: Jetlegend T-45 Hawk

Let me answer some of your questions and add some additional photos.

- The servo arm is 0.75" L (center of screw to outer most mounting hole).

- Use of the rubber grommets are not an issue, the servo is solidly mounted on the frame.

- The linkages do not hit the servo case. The only interference in the setup is the base frame
that mounts to the wood bulkhead acts as a stop when the full throw is down elevator. And
when the throw is up elevator, the corners of the servo mount frame closest to the new mod
parts do prevent further travel, but it is already well past the necessary travel for flight.

- I did have to make an adjustment to the position of the shaft clamps that receive the elevators
relative to the angle of the modified parts from Rich/GJC. If you look at one of my photos you
can see that I aligned the black mounting clamps in-line with the servo mount frame. This is a
good reference to ensure you get the right setting for the throw needed for the elevator.

- I have yet to do the final tweaking of the travel in the transmitter, but shouldn't be a problem.
I have already test mounted the setup back in side the fuse and found the travel, done manually,
is sufficient. Now I just need to set the full throw electronically via the Tx.

- One other thing, I set the angle of the new parts so that they do not touch the linkages as they
travel the full path back and forth. I do anticipate the new parts to loosen and slip (rotate about
its axis) over time. I may add some loctite to help keep the screws in place.

Hope this helps...
