I use a direct servo drive on the Valentine's elevate. The gun was butt heavy so it was balanced using some extension springs. to protect the servo against knocks, a servo saver was fitted instead of a standard servo arm. So far, touch wood, it has operated flawlessly. Pete.

To: [email protected] i'll be starting to work on the servo elevation this weekend sometime and am wondering how you made out with yours working? i'll be attaching mine to the butt end of the gun. i if i were to attach it from there directly to the servo i won't get much travel but am thinking of putting in one of them 90' pivoting pieces (don't know the correct name for the piece) and hope to regain some of my missing elevation there. I forget the exact type of servo i'm going to use, but it's a large servo (Doug, you found this type for me, i think it's the same kind you use).
