Default Hitec 56's in TREX CCPM

Is there an install trick that would keep the servo arms from touching the canopy. Please advise as I cleary STINK at the assembly of these birds. Please post some photos if you are using these servos too. Maybe they install from the opposite side or somethin'.
Thanks in advance as always!!!!

Depending on the canopy, alot of canopys need to have small notches cut into them where the servo arm passes to ensure nothing snags. I've had to do this for both my Walkera #4 and eco-8 canopy.

This worked for me, I rolled up a small piece of paper towel and wedged it between the servo arm and canopy (with canopy installed) then heated with a hairdryer . It bulged out the canopy and did work for me. T-rex is a great little chopper. My 2 c worth Bill

Great ideas. I will try and report back. I was going to install the servos from behind the mounts , but will try this instead.

Just install the servos behind the mounts like you said or keep them where they are and move the ball links to the inside of the servo horns..

the ball links to the inside of the servo horns..
Even if you do that they still rub... The HS56's are too tall.

Yes indeed, they are too tall and still rub- I will heat the canopy and see if I can get the extra space. Thanks again for all the help.
