This would be much simpler if I could just draw a picture. [:)]
I have placed my jib trim servo as shown on the EC-12 building site, but now that I have all the lines in place, it seems to me that turned as it is, and offset to Starboard as it is, it places the jib sheet trim arm such that there is more strain on everything than is necessary. By rotating it slightly clockwise, and moving it closer to the sheet exit guide (without interfering with the compression strut), it would line things up better and cause less stress on the trim arm.
I have seen enough in the EC12 manual, and on the building site to know that things are where they are for a reason, but in this case I just can't figure out what that reasoning is. Can someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
