Dear Richard,

The correct force that the friction damper should break-out at is 5kg +0/-1kg at
90degrees to the long arm (the one that the servo attaches to).

I have just put together the trim tab (anti servo) damper assembly which
connects to the servo unit.  I have no experience of this but it seems very
tight to me.  With the end of the drilled bolt only just through the nyloc
nut, I can only just move the damper asembly up and down the slot with my
thumbs. Is this right?  I was wondering if the servo unit could handle the
amount of force needed to move it.
