Nope, I have not tried that. I'll fire it back up today and see what I can do. I don't think I have a blow drier though... I know I have a fan but that is going to be a fairly low wind speed. Good idea though. Perhaps I'll just try to hold it with my hand and see how much oomph it has. I'm pretty confident that it'll be okay. There is a bit of travel that I didn't use in the servo. It has 180 degrees of rotation and I think I'm using about 110 degrees of that. If worst comes to worst, I can use more of that throw that for a bit more mechanical advantage. Also, as you can see in the video, I stop the servo actuator arm parallel to the push rod. This gives me tons of mechanical advantage since the push rod is pushing straight into the servo pivot point vs trying to rotate the arm.
