Cutting Servo pockets accurately

[randyrls]

When you need to cut a servo pocket for a servo. Remember the small piece of cardboard inside the Emax servo box? Just lay it down and use it to mark and cut the pocket for the servo. Perfect Fit!

So why have I been throwing out the package and tracing out the servo with squiggly lines that barely fit for all these years?

I personally like my servos to be a force fit in FB so that the FB actually holds them in position and I just use a few dots of hotmelt so that they do not move or fall out.

Good reminder but not all use or even have access to that particular manufacturers/company servos!

Have fun!

I made a sanding stick from a paint stirring stick and a piece of peel & stick sandpaper. See the pics. You can get free paint stirring sticks at the local hardware store. Cut the hole in the foam board slightly on the small side, then use the sanding stick to enlarge it a little at a time. More tips and tools at: https://foamboardflyers.com/
