Hi
I'm about to replace my servos with Hitec HS56HB's. (maxwells gears to weak plus difficult to find in UK) In order to get the linkages straight it seems that i will have to use different holes in the servo arms. (I’m having difficulty getting links straight). Is this a good idea or should they all be at the same hole distance. My gut feeling is the servo arm will travel differently.

Also in the servo kit came "x" types and single can you mix the two?

Finally when setting up the mechanical linkages and levelling swash etc, it talks about setting all trims to zero, pitch to linear and EPA's to 100%. However my radio (6EXHP) has a swash setting (3-S) i.e.: A=+36% E=+40% P=+45%. What does this mean? Do these values have to be reset to set up the Initial mechanical settings or are they left as is? (The 450 SE heli was RTF and the radio was set this way). If so what too. Do I have to change these values when all mechanics are good?

Any thoughts?
