Hey Guys,

Thinking of using the KST DS515mg servo for rudder on my Trex 500 pro. Anyone here using one? If so, do KST servos not come w/Grommets or Brass Eyelets? Just ordered this (http://www.helidirect.com/kst-ds515m...ze-p-30077.hdx) and it didn't come w/any. Also... Is the main servo output shaft supposed to continuously rotate w/o stopping?

I have the kst515 on my 450, works fine on there. I don't think it came with the grommets. My kst215s will rotate all the way around by hand, not sure about the 515.

Got mine a few days ago and thought it strange that it didn't come w/grommets or brass eyelets. Thought perhaps it was an open box and it got taken out. But the box did look sealed.

How do they expect you to mount the thing? The mounting holes are huge when not using the eyelets and grommets. They say that you get what you pay for but $65 for a servo is not that cheap. I've ordered cheaper ones that at least came w/the freekin grommets.

OK... Now that I got that out of my system. How do you like the servo? Do you think it will suffice as a tail servo for a T500?

I just used the Futaba grommets on my KST515
