Hi Cyclone 7,
I tried rotating the mount and this is as good as it gets with the current rod and tube arrangement. It was apparently factory test flown in this configuration and they had the tail servo ball at 13mm.
I may try to mount the servo on the underside of the boom mounts if I can find some longer screws, washers and a lock nut. That would make the tail control rod a straighter run.
As it is, it's doing ok in my test hovers in the yard. I've got it setup as good as I can now and need to expand the flight testing to forward flight and see how it flies. I'm at the bare minimum on the esc governor (60%) throttle and getting 6 minutes hovering with cells coming down at about 3.80V. No heat issues with motor, esc or battery although that's probably being helped by hovering without a fuselage.
