Default RE: Installing Servos


ORIGINAL: jmwright75

When installing the servos do I put a rubber gromet on both sides top and bottom and then put eylet in the bottom? Or do I just put the grommet on the top and the eyelet on the bottom?

This is what it should look like.

The biggest mistake made when mounting servo screws is that people tighten the screw down as tight as the can, which is easy to see since the rubber grommet will be crushed and deformed. This will lead to premature failure of the servo. The rubber is there to isolate the servo from the vibrations of the airframe, and when it's tightened down that tightly the rubber has no cushioning effects any longer. Screw down the servo screw until it just touchs the rubber grommet and then stop. This will protect the servos from vibrations
