Yes please do, I'm sure it will help a lot of user to understand how to do it.

I'm gathering parts for my new Tiger build so I'm up for it as well. I'm thinking to make this Tiger to be an IR battler and then hope to find someone near me to battle with.

Lovely piece of design and manufacture.

How is the elevation servo controlled, if the joystick is self centering ?

Does it follow the stick's position, or is there electronics involved to hold the elevation position ?

Only problem I know is the 3mm doesn't have a as powerful output as the 5mm, so may loose some range.
