lHi,

I've now changed my elevator setup and installed a closed loop onto an MK bellcrank. Removing the servo cable saved 30g and two Fut 9650 servos 30g each. I say saved, actually its just redistributing the weight forward as I've used a 9151 servo that I had handy to drive the bellcrank, which weighs 50g. So I've not saved weight but the combined effect moved the C of G forward by 15mm. The model is much improved, sits better in the air, doesn't lose heading as easily and transitions between the reverse spin better as well. Definitely worth the headache to fit the bellcrank.
