How much should i trust the elevator setup with the way they show it in manual. Or should i run 2 elevator servos. Worried about the wheel collars loosing up. I tightened the crap out of them, also going to use some thread locker. Also iam having trouble getting my throttle servo to close all the way. I already stripped out a servo, i was using a Hi tech HS81. I can get full throttle but cant get barrel to close all the way. Thinking about using a bell crank. Motor is a Saito 82. Is there a better servo to use. I tried some different bends but to no avail. I even tried the one suggested in this thread.
I also put some solder on my elevator setup. Make sure you get things lined up pretty close and then solder, your adjustments can be made on the clevis if need be, holds great for me. I am running a Saito 82 and had trouble with my throttle setup at first too. I decided to mount my servo the opposite way the manual says...servo pointed inside. I then got a Dubro Throttle cable assembly -
