Help needed on difficult part
I own the "Famous models" Rafale edf jet. I managed to break the steering/rudder servo control arm, and am having no luck tracking down another. I have posted in the "spare parts" request thread, w/ no response as of yet. I have also checked out other vendors of the same plane, but again no dice. Help from anyone is greatly appreciated!

I've substituted micro control arms from other manufacturers into these RTF planes w/o problems.
I believe the Hextronix Micro servos uses exactly the same arm type but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for the reply! The servos you mentioned are 20 spline, like the ones that came w/ the plane, but I CANNOT find the damned combo arm that I need.

RE: Help needed on difficult part
I considered that, but the arms on the original are of unequal length. The slotted arm that moves the front gear is longer than the arm that moves the rudder wire. I haven't found an equivalent "L" shaped arm to cut up yet. Worst comes to worst, I'll have to re-engineer the rudder/steering control system, so I'm still holding out hope for a replacement.
