Servo mounting in L10 questions

[theLane]

ya, I saw that, thanks. When I called thou, they don't have them in stock as usual. I've learned that, if they don't have them in stock, it's quicker to order from Mars :)

Well I got the 9650's installed, although my install isnt as neat as Lorents they're in the frame.

Hello,

From the picture it looks like the servos could be moved slightly towards the front of the helicopter. If you get a symmetrical throw on all servos in the positions you have them in its ok, but if you move the collective stick up/down and see the swash plate tilt in some direction in addition to the collective movement (interaction) you would benefit from moving the servos.

If you have interaction you can do a "quick and dirty" fix to adjust the ATV values on each servo until you get a straight movement on the swash but you will probably still get some interaction during fast collective movement (since the servos have similar speed but have to travel different distances) and possibly some interaction in the eCCPM mixing that could give you slightly more/less cyclic in some directions.

Here are some pictures that shows where I placed mine. Let me know if you want some better pictures.

It would be great if the new models from mikado would come with replaceable servo mounting brackets for the different servos like the Logo 14 has. I bet there are hundreds of L10's with interaction out there :)

Hey Lorents thanks for the input, I was thinking that I may need to move the servos further forward as well. I dont think Ive done too much damage the way Ive mounted them. I need to wait until I get my radio to really see how much interaction there may be.

From what Ive read about the new Logos you'll be able to use full size and mini servos so you may see your idea in the new logos.
Lorents could you show me a direct shot of your servo setup on the right hand side if the front of the heli is facing you thanks a lot.

Thanks you very much Lorents, thats exactly what I was looking for. :)
