Ian,

Gotcha. I see the arms are shorter, plus the other thing that now makes sense...the swash ball is actually inboard of the servo shaft. At first glance I thought the servo shaft was directly underneath the swash ball, forming a right triangle between the swash, servo shaft, and pitch link where it connected to the arm. If that were the case you would have significant excess travel compared to the front one.

Again..glad it's working for you.

As far as the esky CNC head goes...I personally don't endorse it per se. I just bought it when I had my King2 and transferred it over. It is much nicer to have than a plastic head, but as I said in the other thread...if I had it to do over again, I would buy that one XMSELLER sells that is all high grade aluminum. I like the fact that even the washout arms are aluminum and not plastic.

Cheers,
Brian

*edited* Just clarifying when I said the esky stuff is tight and professional, I was talking about the 90 degree bellcranks in CNC and the carbon fiber frame. The head leaves a lot to be desired. I have to put extra washers on the feather shaft to snug it up, the central holder has a lot of slop on the main shaft, the pins bind sometimes on the mixing arms...there's much better stuff out there.
