      It does doesn't it. Looks even better in real Life.
      If we can convince Josh H to come to the Queens Birthday fly, we can all have a good look.

      Got a fix for your problem mate! Its been pestering me and have found a fix, not surr if this will effect anything but all I did was found a shorter bolt of the same diameter and put that through, the spacer that you put between servo horn and ball link can then be removed leaving you with a couple mm clearence!

      Here is a pic

      I measured it and it misses by 3 mm or so :D perfect

      Interesting Darcy..

      Did that increase the distabe between the ball link and the anti-rotation bracket mount ? or to the servo case? - as there looks to be only about 1mm gap not 3mm

      Whe distance to do have the ball link out from the center of the servo now?

      ie: distance from center of servo arm screw to center of ball link screw

      Also - what servo arms are you using as it's hard to find ones that fit well.

      PS: I updated my original post picture with a blue arrow to make sure we are talking about the same gap... can you have a look at the pic again please and tell me if that's what your solution fixed?
