Question: When I install my wing servo for the ailerons and/or flaps and/or flaperons the control rod appears to be either too short or too long to connect with the control horns on the control surface. What should I do?
Answer: Estimate how much too long or too short the control rods appear to be. If it appears that the discrepancy is about 3/4" then you likely have the servos installed in the wing the wrong way around. Rotate the servo 180 degrees and check again. Most servos have the output shaft closer to one end than the other end and by rotating the servo you in effect change the required length of control rod by about 3/4". |
