<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did that on a Goldberg Extra 300 so I could get
the servos out to the middle of the aileron span. It was a bad idea, the whole
servo rocks in the grommets. If you can, do it lengthways, even if a bit more
servo has to protrude to do it. </FONT></DIV>

needed.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm beginning construction on a pair of CA Models
"Epsilon" kits for next season. I'm very pleased with the quality of these
kits but one thing has me puzzled. Rather than utilizing the traditional
<EM>lengthwise</EM> servo mounting, the design calls for mounting them
<EM>sideways</EM> for both tail surfaces & ailerons. Has anyone had any
experience with this type of mounting? Here's a look at what I'm talking
about:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems to me that this type of mounting could
result in movement of the servo when force is applied. I've spent a boatload
of money on digital servos & top quality hardware for these planes &
the last thing I want is servo movement which defeats any precision setup. At
this point I've decided to modify the design for traditional mounting unless
you "pros" can shed some light on the sideway method.
Thanks.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
