Amir, The longer barrel is harder to stabilize. I've
not had any  problem since I use the servo enhancer
made by Servo City. Do you have a pic of the flatline
assembly ? Also some dimensions. Been thinking about
that system myself. Less arc computations to deal
with. Gotta take the long range to the next level.
