style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I'm using servos in my stab on my
current Aries and what you've just pointed out is really the only concern I
have about the setup. Since the servo is buried in the stab the control
arm must be at least a certain length to extend out far enough to attach the
push-rod and not bump into the base of the stab. The result is that this ends
up creating too much throw at the servo arm and thus you're not using 100% of
your servo range in moving the elevator. I've already got the control horn
position as far out as it can go but I still only use about 65% to 70% of my
servo travel.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

noticed it being to sensitive or not enough granularity in the elevator
control and I have not observed any problems with the elevator halves throwing
unevenly. I have just over 100 flights on the plane. I've had several other
pattern pilots fly my plane (even recently), from Advanced to FAI, and everyone
seems to think it flies very true and straight. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
