Hi Lucas,
I also sent you a PM from your site but it does not show it sent. Hope you have got it.
Quick update. I received the wrong drawing from engineering. Figures, I'm always the last to know. Updated bulletin with CORRECT drawing is now attached to the first post. The first drawing was a preliminary idea that was tossed around. Imagine my pleasant surprise when the boss looked in on the post and saw the wrong part posted. Oops!

Same here, Lucas. I'm not showing any sent PM's on the TT forum. I tried twice.

The default for copying messages to the sent folder is disabled. You can enable it in the User CP under "Edit Options". Thanks!
Lucas, Will TT be sending these parts out to those who got the screws with a blue dot... or do we have to request them?
Is this to say that if you never changed out your screws according to the 09 SB, then this SB doesn't apply??
Perhaps the new SB should actually say, "Recent reports have suggested that the new integrated thread-locker servo arm screws do not entirely prevent the screw from backing out in all cases."
IMHO, if you never changed out your screws according to the earlier service bulletin, then you are two service bulletins behind, and you should order the threadlocker screws and the retention arm device immediately.
You might as well do both, because the threadlocker screws do provide a certain amount of improvement over the original screws.
After receiving my SB brackets and thinking on it some more, I decided to call TruTrak today to see if they could retrofit my servos like they're doing on the -8s. Lucas was out, so I spoke with Zach who indicated they could do the upgrade to the new shaft, but for a cost. I was hoping the fact that my servos are still under warranty would mean an no-cost retrofit, but it wasn't to be. Zach provided an RMA number, and I provided payment info ($75 per servo).
The bracket will also not fit RV-6 roll servo applications. The same procedure will apply as for the RV-8 pitch servo. Thanks!
Got the clips today. (PMs went nowhere--call him!!)
The RV6 roll servo has a longer arm. If the clip was an inch longer the need to send the servo back would not be necessary. As the top hole on the clip doesn't reach the control rod bolt I simply drilled a small hole through the servo arm and did the top attachment through that instead.
Lucas,
I've been trying to send the PM requesting two servo clips but always get a message indicating, message not sent, mailbox is full. Contact me. Thanks

Well............
I am waiting for about 4 weeks now for "first flight" !!
Regards, Tonny.
Got servos back from TruTrak on Wednesday. Fast turnaround. Here's what they look like with the new shaft and nut:
On a side note, any international customers not received theirs yet? I only have a few international left here at the office. Mostly for Canada. I had one get returned to me from Australia about customs, no others have come back so I'll assume they've all gone through.
