You can ease up on your servos teeth by keeping

This reminds of another tip; on servos with metalic O/P shafts, replace
the OEM bolt (phillips drive) with a socket head capscrew. If you need
to remove the arm while the servo is still installed, you can cut down
an allen key that makes removal a cinch...

Hi Jojo,
I wonder how many folks are as "precise" (OK - anal) as I when it comes
to elliminating control surface slop. Here are some things to think about:

Thanks John, good to know. I'll bet JR is the only OEM to do this...

A bit of wisdom from Joe Galletti in 1998:
A quick way to improve slop between the servo output shaft and the bearing
is to use a servo horn retaining screw that is a little larger than the

Looks like we frequent the same vendors. I bought a switch harness
from Simon a while ago and was very happy with the service and product. I
also purchased receiver packs from Hangtime Hobbies and it was easy to order
from them via their website and shipping was fast to Hawaii.
Aloha to all on R
What is also very important in our world is slop. The well proven DS368 is a
very cool servo that can take a lot of beating. But after a lot of "hammer
jojo ground breaking" they will get sloppy. I hear there is a DS3068 out of
the factory now with output ball bearing that should fix it ;-)
Hi
Just because you CAN break a 300# line with a 3M 90 oz plane, doesn't mean
you need all that force to launch a 5M. I believe the expression is
"touch".
Hi-starts are normally sized to pull about 5 times the weight of a plane, so
a good launch tension would be 5*185 oz or about 58 pounds. Get
