ON aboat YES it will shorten the life of the servo, Most airplane people use the moments and only tighten down the screws on the servo grommets just enought so the servo does not move or moves ever so slightly so as not to be noticeable when in useIt would depend on the vibration. I know in my helis I don’t put grommets but there is no vibration and the grommets would allow the servo to move making the geometry 100% off.
I have servos with hundreds of runs on them solidly mounted. Is it best practices, probably not, but in tight layed down installations it is necessary.
Hello Jim Allen,
Where would a fellow find servo mounts like you have in the pictures?
Thanks,
Lee
Jim all of the above, the machined aluminum will be even better as long as both ends and flat and parallel, that’s the key as far as I’m concerned. No matter of the case material, as long as it doesn’t twist you should be just fine.John,
Was your experience obtained with wood hulls, fiberglass hulls, carbon fiber hulls, or some combination of these. I wonder if, or how, the modern day use of a machined aluminum case effects this.
Thanks,
Jim Allen
