To All,
I am assembling the 3.5" SAS SD designed for the Moebius 1/72 Skipjack. I initially only mounted two mini servos (Caswell calls them standard servos) but now I realize that if I intend to actually put this SD into a 1/72 Skipjack I'll need three servos - one for rudder, one for rear dive planes and one for the sail dive planes. If that assumption is correct, that I'll need three servos, I'm having a devil of a time trying to fit them all with their control arms into the servo mounting foundations that come with the SAS SD. If, on the other hand, the assumption is wrong and that I only need two servos because the sail planes are ganged to the rear dive planes then I have no problem.
But let's assume that I need three servos. Here are some pictures of the setup...
The problem is not the actual mounting of the servos - that's easy; the problem is how to mount the control horns/arms so that they don't foul one another. In all cases the push rods go towards the top or right in the pictures over the ESC.
So, has anyone built this Skipjack SD before and if so, would you please post some pictures on your method?
Assembling this SAS SD has been a real challenge for me as I'm just not used to cramming 5 pounds of you-know-what into a 2 pound bag.
