Is there anyway to mount a mixing servo for the engine needle ?

I was watching a old video from Bobby Watts and saw a linkage connected to the engine needle. But couldn't see how he mount it as it was covered by the canopy. ( maybe see wrongly )

Any idea ?

Double side tape to the frame is one way.

Just double side tape it somewhere you can get a link to the needle. IT can be taped to a servo already in place. It does not take much for a servo to move the needle.

Ok this how i did mine. Test flight it just now and it works =) but not sure how long will the M3 double side tape hold the servo.. haha :wink:

Btw, if you notice the base plate there are full of oil. I have no idea where it came from. 1 year already but i still cant solve it :arggg:

Kenny,
That looks fine. Might also use some nylon wire ties around the servo to help secure it to the place it is mounted.
