go back to hobbyco and pick up a v-tail mixer Smile you plug that in between the servos and the radio and it allows you to control it via one stick.

Help! I got the micro-switches, but I am having trouble mounting them with the servo. I bought some cheap composite wood from spotlight to mount them on. A diagram or photo would be tops. Smile

ah now your getting into the thick of it, thats my most hated of jobs. ill get a picture of screwys old controllers but heres a quick run down.

imagine if you will a square of wood in your case.

then you cut out a slot for the servo to fit through in the middle of the square, and then mount the two microswitches either side of it with the two bolt holes. then the servo horn (the circle or t shaped thing on top of the servo) should touch each switch when the servo rotates.

so give us a sec and ill get the picture (just have to rat through some backup CDs)

Yeah, I THINK I got that sorted, but I need to raise the micro switches, otherwise the horn doesn't contact. (MORE fiddling)! The pic will be great!

if your talking about the servo cut out things there sure is Smile

basically drill 4 holes at the corner of the shape that you need to cut out (the shape of the servo) then you can just put a jigsaw blade in the hole and cut the shape out, easy Smile
