I recently started putting together a AM 35% Extra 260 and have run into a situation I'm not happy with.
The build quality on this airframe is great but I really dislike the elevator servo location, you know inside the stab. Well for starters I always give my airplane a visual inspection before each flight session and I go over everything...including little things like servo retainer screws and servo arm screws. Maybe it's a little overdone but it has worked for me for the last 15 years flight giant scale. I don't like things buried and out of sight.
My question to you folks out there is, has anyone modified the elevator servo mounting so that they are upright instead of buried sidemounted in the stabs? If anyone has and could you share pics/info on the matter.
Thanks for your help.
