Tonight's Dumb Idea...

[Bob]

Until now, it seems that heat and oil are not an issue.

The main trouble comes when you have to deal with narrow fuse's noses, it is important to provide the servo enough clearance throughout his entire travel.

The servo is fitted into a 1,5mm. thick carbon plate (of course ;-)) bolted between the upper side of one side engine mounting lug and the bolt's heads.

It is secured to the carbon plate with 4 x 2,5mm bolts and safety nuts.

  Pretty high recommendation, Roberto!  I too, thought it SHOULD work, because it would seem there is a lot less wear and tear on the servo parts.  Probably just have to watch for overheating, and over-oiliing...

    Sure!

    It is the suggested method I give with my engine mounts.

    Sebastiano Silvestri gave me the idea. And it works flawlessly.

    The servo sure shakes a lot, but the relative motion between the servo arm ant the engine is none. So the servo lasts longer and the servo response to the engine is much more precise.

      Okay - since you've opened it, read on :)

      Thinking of mounting an adequately-sized micro/mini servo directly to the beams of a motor mount to control my OS 1.60 on my experimental Arresti III....

      Anyone ever done this?
