Any comments would be apperciated.Although I am relatively new in this branch and went through reading different comments in this forum and others I have learned a lot from you guys and the mentor Bob so I would like to thank you all for helping me and others to get through the difficulties that we are going to face.:noteworthy

The tail servo horn needs to be turned 90 degrees so it's facing up. You will need to trim the end of the servo horn so it won't hit the frame.

Follow the link below for build threads and other good info. It will help you on your build for sure.

I wouldn't bother cutting the Mikado horn, keep it for a spare and use the 6 spoke horn that comes with that BLS251.
I cut my MIK horn but couldn't get it at 90.
For some reason i thought i had to use the MIK horn but ended up wasting the it, the 6 spoke got 90 nicely.

I was going to say the same thing about the tail servo arm as ShuNut...

Also, judging from the pictures it looks like you have the plastic motor mount instead of the metal one but correct me if I'm wrong. If it is plastic, you should be able to get the metal one from the distributor.

Looks good. :thumbup: I have the BLS451/251 on my Logo 500 and they work very well.

I use the Futaba ones as well on the tail servo. The Mikado one will work but it a lot of money for a horn that can be kept for a spare..

Hey, i was told also not to use the rubber grommets, just use straight screws with washers.

[mfbs17]

Any particular reason not to use rubber grommet?:)

It's just my opinion but I feel the links from the cyclic servos to the swash have better geometry when the grommets aren't used. You don't need them on an electric anyways.

[mfbs17]

then I need to get plenty of washer ;)

No you need to get 16 washers, 4 per servo, 1 per screw.

Your grommets can help the gears not strip as easy if you crash. I couldn't strip nylon DS821 gears when ploughing my E550 several times (it has grommets) on the E325 with karbonite gears (5 times stronger they say), even on a small crash i strip a set (hard mounted)
