heres the site that has those servo arms:

http://www.radicalrc.com/shop/?cat=2...=229%3A3177250

It's about halfway down the page, titled; F3P Laser Control Horns Z Bend Set, the arm you want is the goofy looking one in the center.

Nothing here locally that is decently sized. Some highschools allow it if you don't conflict with their sports stuff...

some of us have to work for our flying time and toys, I got the 3114s hooked up, gotta glue the ailiron rods yet. I was able to find skrew locks for the ailirons so i wont have to change anythign if i got the funny horn on the servo.. I was thinking how much fun would 2 ailiron servos be on this bird with a ele-flap mix hahah. look on the bright side of me taking my time i know itll be built good. i cant wait to try the helmet cam out haha may those servos are fast, if you flap it hard enough the plane moves gonna be a blast i hope saturday evening is calm
