11. Installing the Servos
The installation of a servo (not included) always depends
on the particular model used.
Detailed information on this can be found in the construction
documents of the model.
Generally, however, try screwing in the servos (1) in a
vibration-dampened manner. This is why rubber bushings
(2) with metal sleeves (3) are usually included with the
servos.
When servo arms or linkages are obstructed, the servos
cannot assume the required positions. This causes higher
power consumption and the model cannot be controlled
properly.
Always mount the servo lever (1) at a 90° angle to the linkage
rods (see sketch A).
The rudder or steering travel will not be equal on both sides
if the servo lever is mounted at an angle to the linkage rod
(sketches B and C) in spite of symmetrical rotting movement
of the servo lever.
