the holes on all of the servos from parallax are very small.· what is usually put into them.· the holes on the fan part, not the screw holes.

    Hello,

    ·· Typically in R/C applications these are connected to control rods, which is like a very stiff wire.· It's usually bent at a 90 degree angle and pushed through the hole, then there's a special connector to lock it into place.

    The fan part is called a servo horn which can be used for an attachment to different devices.

    They are sometimes called "music wire" or "piano wire" - they come in different sizes also...
