I received the Align H55T005XXT tri tail and got it all assembled. A little sanding on the pitch links so they did not bind when tightened and all was smooth.I drilled a shouldered ball stud that had a 2mm threaded end on it to a 2.5mm hole in my lathe. I slightly shorted a 2.5mm allen head cap screw to mount the ball to the pitch slider. The Mikado pitch arm was binding slightly against the pitch slider in different positions so I had to place a small shim between it and it's mount plate. I also used a slightly longer 3mm screw after to reattach it so I had full thread penetration. All is nice and smooth and travel limits have been reset in the Neo. Now it needs to quit snowing and blowing so I can test it out before continuing on with the project.
