Hey all, I recently got into a debate on control horn setup. I was under the impression that having the push rod in the top/highest slot in the control horn would give the most throw, and moving it down the control horn would decrease the throw.
However, when I sat down and looked at it, if the travel is the same at both the top and bottom, the bottom would have further throw.
Does the orientation of the push rod factor in? Whether it is above the arm or below? Also the same would probably go for servo arms. I think that is why I thought the top slot was higher throw than the bottom because on a servo the outermost hole is the biggest throw and the inner is the least. Wouldn't that theory translate due to the face that they are both just range of motion above a joint?
After the question was brought up and I had too much time to think about it, I am extremely confused.
Any insight would be great!
