Re-did Servo Mounts
Hey Everybody,
I just thought I would let you know that I changed my servo mounting setup. I ended up not flying the plane, and meticulously ground out the mounts I had in the Knife, and changed it to the servos on the hatch idea. I did them like Texas3D did on his. I was gonna do it like Hacker had his, but because of the way the cases are on the servos, there was no way to have enough wood to screw to on the bottom and have the servo sit high enough. It worked out very nice! The plane shed a few ounces to boot...I know, because I weighed the ones I ground out before I put them in. I backed up the hatch recesses with some 1/8" birch, so the screws would have plenty (1/4" now) to grab onto, and used 6 screws on the hatch. Thanks Guys for all the suggestions. I really belive this was the better way to go. I should've done this the first time! hehe Oh well, that's why RCU was formed, so everyone could help each other and have a good time...looks like it worked didn't it! I'll have some pics up soon...I promise. Right now I'm one wore out individual. I woke up early this morning and thought "ya know? I oughta put them things in the hatches and grind that damned mess out" ...so I did, and now it's 10:19 pm! LOL I guess my avitar really says it all this time doesn't it? I MUST be addicted.
