Re: [RCSE] sticking stuff to servos.

How would mounting a servo to a piece of aluminum, say .020 thick, with servo tape and then screwing the aluminum to the aircraft work? I think it would be fairly light and should hold well. You could trim the current mounting tabs off of the servo to save some weight as well. Harley's post

Hi All, I have a Pretty Mantis fuse now and noticed that it only comes with one sheet of instructions that are pretty general. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to install the tailboom? What do you use as a reference to make sure the incidence is correct? Should I just use epoxy to

Thanks Anker! That's what I had in mind for aligning the tailboom but wasn't sure it that would do it or not. I know if would be a bear to fix if I had it wrong. :) Can't wait to fly my Mantis this spring! Probably end up buying a second one with an Aegea wing from Phil and another Pretty

Weller makes an excellent butane fueled soldering iron/torch that comes in a nice case. They're available at Sears. They are also really nice for disposing of evidence if the plane goes in really hard. ;) Happy flying, Jim www.jtmodels.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
