Thx for the info


I have no binding at all. I may not have been clear. The pic was provided as an example of what I am using and what I started with. The linkage bowed initially, but the heli flew fine. When I installed my 9650, I was able to get the bow out, but the slight diagonal connection from servo horn to the tail rudder slider arm has me perplexed.

But no..no binding. the linkage works just fine. Is nice and smooth. It's just not *perfect* and I know I could make it perfect but I'd need to either modify or eliminate the linkage holder.

So...

-Do I need the linkage holder? Can I just cut the holder piece off and just retain the boom support/wing portion? And then run without the holder piece, which would allow me to position the servo so the horn is traveling in the same plane as the tail slider arm, and so the linkage is perfectly parallel with the boom.

-If I have no binding and no issues should I just not worry about it? My concern is there may be more perfection to dial in, which would make for an even smoother and more authoritative flight. But maybe I'm worrying about the little details too much. Your comment suggests that binding is main issue so maybe I should leave well enough alone and let the linkage holder do it's job, even at the expense of a few degrees of linkage alignment.


I just dunno. If left to own devices I'll tweak and tune forever. lol



Also...is there a tail servo linkage length calculator or rule of thumb? I have my linkage adjustments set per Heli-Pro's manual (9mm between the linkage and the ball-end on each side of the linkage).
