| NLDIRENZO Senior Heliman | Does anyone know or have a logical explanation why E-flite uses those stupid servo arms that are not straigth from the swash to the servo and have that horseshoe look half way on them... Wouldn't it be much more effective to have a straight servo arm??? Did you mean to do that? Yeah its called a crash landing its a new trick | ||

| ThumbBumper Veteran | Look at them as sort of a mechanical fuse. If something can move or absorb energy on impact, it will prevent something else from breaking. If you never crash, then straight stiff links would definitely work better.You have to look at it from the manufacturers point of view though. They design these for a certain market. Most likely, they targeted folks just starting out or those not in the hobby all that long. As such, they figured these would see plenty crashes. At least they did their best not to have these explode each time they hit the deck.It's a very hard thing to do: Design something that never breaks, cost you almost nothing to make, sell it cheap enough so you can sell it to everyone, and above all still have it functionally work like a helicopter.Just my $0.02Bob If it ain't broke, go fly some more! | ||

| T-rexn8 Key Veteran | I think they are also there to fine tune your subtrims. That's why they are on the MCPX as I understand it.Xxtreme 800, TDR, 700E DFC, Mini Protos, T-450 DFC, Blade 130x, mcpx, nano | ||
