Thanks, Kang. Mine is adjustable. I wasn't sure how long it needed to be for any future models. Right now the maximum h-t-h distance is 14" which may be plenty long enough for anything I might build.

Rey,
Thanks for the photos. Looks nice.
Earlier, you asked about the distance between the torque meter and the winder. They should be situated so their hook-to-hook distance is the same as the h-t-h distance of the model you are flying.
