First time using these IDS system/mounts from Servorahmen. Initially disappointed that they come with no instructions and took some time to figure out how they are used.
The fit of the servo arm into the bearing/frame is a tight push fit. A tip from Hyperflight when using the frames for the KST X08 version was to warm the arm in a cup of boiling water. This certainly made the initial assembly much easier.
In the end for the model I'm building I've not used the aileron/flap spoons. However, the end result is an excellent linkage with zero free play so I'm very happy.
Instructions or a link to such would have made this a 5 star rating.
Very good product, proven itself well, responsive seller and fast shipping.
These are really nice frames and IDS. Rugged! I couldn't get the horn onto the spline easy. I found this thread on RCGroups that suggested a bit of heat and then they slid on with some pliers. Afterwards they worked nicely on/off while getting the angles correct. It doesn't take much heat, just a little.

Used this system of servos and IDS before...why change something that's successful
Excellent product, no slack, no flutter. My first IDS install, and required a bit of forward thinking to make sure setup was correct before glueing anything. But the rest of the servo installs then followed suit.
Excellent service and delivery.
The system is well designed and fits well easily fitted
I had to modify the servo mount screw holes slightly to fit my X10 Mini servos. But other than very good - they work perfectly. Very precise.
Much easier to install than I imagined it would be. Very positive, strong, exact, and an excellent product.
The V3 couplers for aileron and flap servos are quite difficult to install. Its also easy to damage and frequently have to replace even with soft landing.
A really well thought out system. The two piece horn going into the control surface works well and the two little tags help to ensure that the horn is glued to the top surface and each one sits on the same line relative to the hinge. It took a while to get the first one fettled correctly but the following 3 were easy once the system was understood.
