Trex 550 setup 99% complete


I sort of completed the setup on my Trex 550. Only "sort of" because it turns out the stock Align servo horns are too long to work correctly with the Vbar Neo control loops. :(

My collective range is too low at about 72 for positive and 74 for negative. For the control loop who work correctly these numbers need to be between 80-100.

I was about to test fly it, but decided against it until the setup is perfect!  Plus, I would hate it if I crashed on my test flight due to being impatient. I ordered some SAB servo horns which have mounting locations for the ball links closer to the output shaft of the servo, which should bring the control loop range above 80 :)
