tail servo ball

[Gaza-Davies]

why doesnt the manual show how far the ball needs to go out on the servo horn for the tail ..i am having trouble trying to get the tail at 0 pitch because the rods are a little to short don't want the ball links falling off in flight hehe

[Gaza-Davies]

also pitch slider doesnt reach the very end of the shaft as it binds up is this normal ?

I had the same problems.

thanks for sharing man ..

what about the tail binding problem how far are you going towards the grip before you back off

[Gaza-Davies]

the most i can get out the ds520 servo on the horns are either .. 13mm or 16mm.

i think 16 mm is to much IMO

About 2mm from the end. That's all it needs anyway with torque.

ScCraft arm's are great, put them all on my fleet, red bling with all the new upgrades should look good nx4 best nitro

11mm on mine an it is rock solid, no binding issues, I was using a GAUI GS-518 which failed and now I'll try the same 11mm on a BK DS-5005HV and see how it performs.

Nice servo Matt. I works so well in my nx4 that I had to have another one for my X3.

I know servos are a matter of preference, but someone would have a hard time arguing me out of the BLS257 being the best mini sized tail servo.
