[QUOTE="stokke, post: 25535, member: 639"] Your input has been taken into consideration. Thanks :D But I have been doing some reading on the topic, and turns out the 140° swash is technically speaking the [I]perfect[/I] set-up when so called "interactions" are to be eliminated completely. This has to do with the swash servos not moving exactly the same length; the elevator servo actually has a different "stroke/throw" than the aileron and pitch servo. The difference is very little and only noticeable for very experienced pilots. This difference is also compensated for in the Tx and/or the Rx/FBL to some degree on 120° systems. And in spite of having the option to choose this fabulous set-up, I'm going with the 120°. Why, you may ask? Well, turns out most of the RC-world is still using 120° and therefore most FBL systems are designed around 120° set-ups. Not that a 140° swash would be a problem on a high end FBL, but I'm going with "budget" BeastX, and don't want to take the chance. Also there's the fact that I'm used to flying 120° on my 450, and I would like the "feel" of both my JR and Align to be as similar as possible. On some parts of the instructions I have the choice between 120° or 140°. From this point on I will be building per the 120° set-up. _______ Tonight I assembled the swash arms.
