Rudder servo ball distance

[Planehazza]

Hey all,

Would you mind posting up how far from centre you have the ball for the rudder servo on your beastx? I know this will vary from model to model; just trying to get an idea if mine's correct or not.

Cheers!

Hey Harry, how you been as you've been quiet!

On the 90, i'm about 1.4cm (2nd in on futaba 4 leaf horn)
On the 50, same as above
On the 500, its about 1.2cm (2nd in on the new Align horn)

Cheers Eddie. 1.4mm? Do you mean 14?

Pmsl.. Ive done it again like squeaky pointed out in another post!

But thats a double DOH as your stating in m and i'm mm... I edited the original but you all know what I mean!! lol

Also on your other thread about the ball... how is the CF rod binding on the horn? Is the ball on the inside or outside? Also, on the tail crank, you should have them both equal if you move them out, otherwise I think your actually only increasing it by half of what you would be increasing the res by, which aint really worth it. If that makes sense to you

1.4m? I don't know what you're talking about. I clearly wrote mm

My reasoning behind moving only the one ball is because I wouldn't then change the resolution as the tail rod would still move the same if I moved them both.

My understanding:
move the tail rod ball out = tail moves more
move the servo ball on the bellcrank out = servo has to move more to move bellcrank
move both out = Servo has to move more, but tail also moves more anyway defeating the purpose

I think of it as giving or receiving movement. If it's receiving the movement, moving out will increase resolution. If it's giving the movement (servo arm, or tail half of bellcrank) then you're decreasing resolution.

Basically I want the servo to move more for the same tail output (increase resolution). If I move them both out, the tail will move the same as the servo in terms of ratio.

It's really hard to describe in words lol.
