I bought four of these servos from Tower and none seem to come with any
I bought four Futaba S3110 servos from Tower and none seem to come with any screws to mount the servos in the plane. Should they have? What size servo mount screw fits the S3110 and if Futaba sells them what is the part number?

Hi Terry,
No, the S3110's do NOT come with mounting hardware - I wish Futaba would throw a couple of screws in the box - it couldn't cost them too much, but the servos are great. I use the regular Futaba servo screws [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH368&P=7[/link] or the Dubro servo screws [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFRM2&P=ML[/link] on the mounting tab opposite the output shaft and a Dubro #2 [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD973&P=ML[/link] on the tab closest to the output shaft. I like the hex heads with the built on washer but the mounting tab is too close to the case and the screw won't thread straight down because the washer sticks out too far. That's why I use 2 different screws.

Hi Terry,
Unfortunately, no, not all of our Micro servos come with the mounting screws.
The servo can either be glued in if you like, but we recommend any 1.5mm screw from your local hardware store.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,
