These guys make THE best servo arms around, tried loads during my 10 years of kit building for customers and these were better than anything out there, they do a threaded through horn which the link shows that might suit if you put a washer or plate on the other side and a nut or the twin peg glue in ones are rock solid.

The arms with a Y design are so strong and hold the control rod at both sides so never going to twist or snap.

Hope this helps, this is a little gem of company.

warrenmiller11 11-08-2018 02:16 PM

sm might sell those as a part for a previous kit maybe?

Use robot parts by a company called Actobotics. They are easy to find at robot suppliers. Servo City also has them. I considering them for the stabs on my F-105 project.

Get one of these hubs and bolt it to the arm below. They are like erector set parts and all fit together. The bore sizes are common sizes. 3/8, 1/2" etc.

Gary,

What a great find - amazing web-site. I'm sure I can find a use for some of those parts on my Bucc - weapon bay pivot bearing blocks immediately come to mind!!

Here are some parts used to put together a stab system I am looking at for my F-105 project. These photos came from Fighteraces in the UK who gave me the idea. All Actobotics parts except for the aluminum base.

Hi, I know this is a struggle for a lot of people. If the clamp doesn’t have any instructions you can search on the internet.
