A High Performance LDS (linear drive system) for the KST X08 servo.

I would have zero qualms installing this LDS system in a dynamic soaring ship (many folks already have and with great success); anything else will be a walk in the park for this system.

The servo trays have an outboard ball bearing that helps to carry the servo shaft loads and greatly reduces servo play. The unique servo arm is designed so that it has tons of clearance, no more grinding your clevis' for maximum throw. The servo arm then connects to a strong control rod which connects to a double carbon fork epoxied inside of the control surface, this results in massive throws while the whole system is contained within the wing. Aerodynamically clean and slop free.

There are a number of ratios available. As the builder you will need to make your own decision as to which ratio to choose. The different ratios are presented like this for example: 6.35mm / 5.83mm. The first number 6.35mm is the "servo arm length" which is the distance from the center of the servo output shaft to the hole in the servo arm. The second number 5.83mm is the "control horn height" which in this case is the distance from the bottom of the horn to the connecting rod hole.

Studying the parts kit, you will find exceptionally well machined components; the CNC parts are beautiful, the anodizing is clean, resulting in a very good fit and finish. The kit is well thought out and very complete (even includes sand paper and super glue for assembly). You are given a choice for your pushrod assembly, you can use the included carbon rods to create exact length push rods or you can make adjustable length pushrods using the included threaded rod. The designer has proven that the carbon pushrod assembled using super glue can withstand 220lbs in tension. The servo frame parts are machined from 3.5mm thick carbon and the control horns are machined from 1.7mm carbon. Beefy stuff.

Another aspect of these servo frames that we liked is that they will fit into smaller servo pockets than other larger servo frames in this class. The servo pushrods are connected to the servo drive and control horn using machined pins that accept e-clips at both ends for retention. The kit includes extra e-clips in case some get lost. FYI, the designer has created an e-clip installation tool to make it much easier to install the clips. I have used it and it works very well. On the other hand removing them will require some patience.

Below is a video you can watch to learn how these kits are assembled.

      The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
      Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
      I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.

      Disappointed
      Color: S6-muti-color
      These were great for about 20 minutes then they stopped squeaking...we have 2 left that I have saved but the other 4 do not squeak anymore...disappointed as my dog loves to squeak things...would not buy these again...My dog is only an 8lb dog too...but he can still play with the balls without the squeak...

      Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
      Color: S6-muti-color
      I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

      Pieces chewed off
      Color: white & green
      My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.
