HIROBO Freya - Sceadu - Shuttle > Need ideas for fixing tail

I am ordering the parts to fix my shuttle.At the same time I am installing a GY401 gyro to replace the mechanical one that was in there. My question is how should I fix the linkage at the servo.Currently it has a zbend into the servo arm.And of course there is some slop.I have read that with the HH gyros you need get rid of all the slop in the tail control. But how do I go about this? I have thought about a tail mounted servo but its tail heavy already. I am not sure I want to do that.Could I cut the zbend off and thread the rod for a rod end? Any ideas will be helpful.

You probably will not be able to cut and thread
the stock rod but what I did when I had a
ZXX was to get some Dubro solder-on 2mm
adaptors and use silver solder to attach. Then
use a ball link.

You will probably have to mount the ball on the
arm on the BOTTOM and even then, you might
well have to put washers under the aileron servo
to raise it up slightly and possibly remove a
small bit of frame material around the edge where the tail linkage is.

Ball Links

I have a Shuttle with a GY-401/9253 as well. I put ball links on both sides of the tail rotor control rod. It works great. -Steve

How did you do it? Did you solder on a Dubro connector or cut and die threads on?
