Switched to HS-65MG servos on CCPM

[jrohland]

I had been running an unknown brand of servos on my swash. Tonight I switched to Hitec HS-65MG. Anyone else running those? I was wondering what hole you are using on the horns. I am using the straight, one sided horns that came with the servos. I put my ball links on the second hole from the outside. This gives me a bunch of collective range. I am wondering if it is too much.

I don't have a pitch gauge. As such, I can't measure my positive and negative pitch.

I am using the HS65HB's on cyclic. I used the standard X servo horn with the balls in the outer most hole. I did NOT need to grind the antirotation bracket to get the elevator servo to fit, but did cut off three arms on the horn. I get a full 11' pitch, positive and negative.

Hey pal,
I`ve been using the 65`s all around except for the tail which has
the hds 877 dgital.
I love these servos, much better than all the others I`ve tried
and I`ve tried a bunch, anyway, I`m using the single arm horn
that comes with the servo and I`m using the hole closest to the
center screw, so far I have plenty of authority for cyclic and pitch
but in the same breath I`m not into 3D, mostly scale type manuevers.

Had to replace two of my s75 that came with the dx6 due to head block self-destructing. Used the HS65HB on cyclic and roll. Had one issue. The roll servo had to be mounted to the top of the cyclic lever arm because it would hit one of the servo screw nuts on the elevator servo.

Did anyone else have this problem? If so how did you solve it? Had to cut a "window in the canonpy for clearance. No prob with stock one but would hate to do it to a fiberglass one.

I did not have the interferance with HS65HB mounted on the bottom but I use shorter screws and extra servo horn arms that have been cut off the hubs vice the cheap plastic nuts. Servo arms have the added bonus of not requirin you to hold on to them while tightening , they will turn untill they hit the servo case and hold that position while you tighten or loosen the screw and they are much tougher than the plastic nuts.
