12. Installing the Servos

The installation of a servo (1) 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 in a vibra-

tion-dampened manner. This is why rubber bushings (2)

with metal sleeves (3) are usually included with the servos.

When linkages are stiff, the servos cannot assume the re-

quired positions. This causes higher power consumption

and the model cannot be controlled properly.

The linkages must work as smoothly as possible without

having any play in the bearings or deections.

Before installing the servo lever, take the transmitter and

then the receiver into operation and check the trim at the

remote control transmitter for correct middle position (see

following chapter).

Then always mount the servo stick at a 90° angle to the

linkage rods (see gure 8, sketch A).

The servo lever is at an angle to the linkage rod (see gure

8, sketch B), the control paths of the two control directions

will be unequal.

A slight mechanical inclination due to interlock of the servo

levers may be corrected with the trim later.
