Futaba servo
« on: April 19, 2019, 04:35:29 AM »
Is anyone using the Futaba BL173 servos on the 516? Do they just not fit as well as the MKS9767's

Wondering the same?
Was tempted to give them a try. About to build another 516.

Cheers

The 516 manual states mounting tab spacing of 42.6mm.  The Futaba 173 specs say the spacing is 40mm.  There was someone on Helifreak that had one for sale with 173s on it.  Not sure how they mounted them, if they had to modify anything or not.
