600 Throttle linkage to OS55

[sacko]

Just having a look at the OS55 throttle lever arm, and am struggling to see how you can get 90 Degrees on the arms.

Any body got some pics I could have a look at, of their setup?

you went for the OS over the YS then

Yup, was just easier tbh, had it in at the local model shop (Elite Models) at a good price, already have an MP5 for it. Just setting it up at the moment

Looks top banana...

IIRC on the throttle, the link needs to be 90 to the arms NOT the arms 90 to the servo.

I do know the way I've done it is not the way it should be, but with that servo, doing it the way it should be, my endpoints where WAY off!

So doing it like that, my endpoints are now 100-100

Are the 50 and 55 the same?

best way to do it then is put a round wheel on and drill your own hole Then you know your gonna be 90 with equal travel both ways and should even be able to get the end points spot on if you do it good enough. Me personally i wouldnt be happy until it was spot on or very very close.
Effectively all that will happen is you end up with a little expo on the throttle. Just depends how fussy you wanna be really. We all know what some governors are like on the throttle setup.
