When to use servo saver ?
 
I am planning to install two servo savers in my Avistar, one for throttle and the other for the nose wheel. I figure that using the servo saver for throttle will help me eliminate some binding at the servo travel limits, while the saver for the nose wheel is to absorb wheel shocks. Before I do this, I just wanted to get some opinions from you good folks whether I am doing the right thing. Thanks in advance.............. :)

When to use servo saver ?
 
With the correct servo arm lengths, you should not need the saver on the throttle at all. If the servo binds at one end, then make some adjustment to pushrod length. If that doesn't eliminate the binding, then use a different servo arm hole to reduce the throttle arm travel. Should be just fine!

For the nosewheel steering, I wouldn't use one there, either, unless you're concerned that you're going to be doing a lot of very hard landings or ripping out the nosegear. Even then, if you hit hard enough to rip out the nosegear, the saver isn't going to have enough travel to make much difference.

...my opinion. :)

For the nose wheel yes. For the throttle, no. Just adjust your linkage to make sure it doens't bind.
