    Offset servo idea by the step. A piece of G10 makes an excellent custom servo arm. No idea if this will work. There's the 1" +/- difference.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I think I might need to build a custom servo arm. Still thinking. My 84 year old uncle started aeronautical engineering before and worked on the Saturn V design then went onto stealth bombers, passenger planes and other areas he can't talk about. Good excuse to call him today, he got me...

    We were correct, the geometry doesn't work. At least initially. Over tightens in one direction and loosens in the other. I thought there was an issue with this setup but couldn't remember. Math isn't my strong suit. At a minimum the pull pull cables should probably be the same length.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Ordered some shoulder bolts from McMaster Carr, too heavy. I should have thought about nylon, which they had. Much lighter. However, the threaded wood inserts are military grade heavy and way too heavy. I think my cheap plastic bolt kit from the hardware store is my best option.

    More aileron pulley work. Impatiently waiting on a shoulder bolt from McMaster Carr I found this little nylon thingy. I cut it down and came up with this.

    You don't have to mail me one. I have slitting saws for cutting metal. Perhaps you are talking for a cut off application?
