<DIV>Earl,</DIV>

<DIV>I wonder if the aluminum single arm will twist more than the round nylon wheel in similar loads and conditions. Using MK link (which are very close to the plane of the wheel) with round nylon wheels has been working very well for me. The reason why the nylon wheel is strong is because the structure is closed. Of course aluminum wheel would be stronger than nylon wheel.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The nylon servo arms are quite adequate when used with a clevis that applies the force in line with the plane of the arm (typical pin clevis). Pushrod ends that bolt to one side of the arm move the force off the plane of the arm and thereby impart a twisting force to the arm. (DuBro type ball links are the extreme.) Add a bunch of vibration to the normal loads and the nylon arm may eventually fail - a wheel is a much better choice if one uses the nylon accessories. In addition to better withstanding the twisting forces of offset linkage, the aluminum arm is more substantial for screw mounting the ball / ball bearing end.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Jim is correct regarding the H9 arms on JR servos - there seems to be more variation in the spline of the output than the spline of the arm. (An arm tight on one servo may fit nicely on another.) OTOH, I've found the H9 arms to fit Futaba servos consistently well.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>For pattern I always use the nylon servo arms that comes with the JR servos. I am not sure why you need the metal servo arms. Usually I use the round one for aileron and elevator. For rudder I use the heavy duty arm that JR offers (comes in the 8611 servo). I never have problems with the nylon servo arms in pattern application.</DIV>
