Some Pictures


Heres a pic of the feathering shaft. Just like the New T-rex 450SE V2



Notice the servos are mounted inside the frame, this gives the straightest shot for the servo linkages




The servo on the left is mounted on the outside of the frame, see how the linkage is not straight, where as the servo on the right is mounted from the inside of the frame and the linkage is straight up and down




Here you can see where those little plastic bolts/nuts go when mounting the servos




Finished Project




With a new CNC See-saw
