since taking these pics I did flip the mount so teh screw that tightens it to the boom is now on the top.

[dominic]

you are the best thank you

[mysticmead]

no problem.. just glad I could help

Hey Mystic - how are you finding the DS821 on the tail? I would have liked to try it initially for basic hover practice but decided to go with the matched 9254.

Cheers
Graeme

[mysticmead]

for right now, it's not a bad servo..next I think I'll move up to a Atlas

Mystic...

I'm also surprised you can get a way with such a short servo arm.....?

[mysticmead]

lol... yeah... that's longer as well... flying-hobby had set it up initially..I made a few changes since that pic

I think the longer servo horn will help for this servo, this servo is slow but has a lot of torque for tail.;)

MM,

That's exactly what I did - made a lot of difference :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi wont it rub on the underside of the supporting brackets along the boom,or will I have to lower the servo guys?

Try to rotate the boom clamp 180 deg, I did it for mine.

[mysticmead]

exactly... rotate mount 180 degrees.. I'll get an updated pic of mine today to show you.

[mysticmead]

here's the updated pics.

as you can see.,.. the mounts were rotated 180 degrees..and I used a longer servo horn.

Here is mine.

I think my length is in between your old & new length.

[mysticmead]

the length will be determined by the servo you use as well as the gyro... mine NEEDS the extra throw in order to work... and I'm pretty sure that once I swap to a better tail servo I can reduce the throw a bit and still have a good responding tail.. and upgrading my gyro would have the same effect.. the Gaui 210 is a decent gyro.. just not a great gyro

MM,

I forgot that you were using the GU210 as well - it sounds as if you are reasonable happy with it - mine works fine with the Hyperion servo.

Cheers,

[mysticmead]

yeah... over all I'm happy with the gyro.. although I have a Bday coming up in a little over a week and if I can score the cash, I'll upgrade the tail servo AND gyro. then put the gaui 210 on my 450 :D which is in need of a new gyro since it's last meeting with mother earth.. if not, then I'll just order the servo and some spares for the Hurri... the 450 can wait til I get money to blow before it gets attention (read as early Feb)
