Question on servo mounting

Penrod · 01-02-2007, 12:16 AM

Finless Bob's video on servo mounting for CDE (showing a CF frame) say to mount the two front servos from the inside of the frame. The servos he's using still stick out beyond the frame quite a bit, of course he's using differnt servos. I'm using HS65MG's and they do not stick out nearly as much. Do I still install them from the inside? Since they're so popular, how is everyone else mounting them?

The reason you mount them from the inside is so that the pushrods can be setup to run as perfectly vertical as possible.
So the best thing to do is sit it outside and see that alignment, and then sit it inside and check.
Whichever gives the best vertical pushrod result is the way you want to aim for!

Thanks PeterV, I'm so caught up in the building that I didn't use simple logic. Your reply just makes sense!
