Anyone have any experience with the Hi Tech 5125MG Digital Wing
Servo? DJA
I'm curious as to the pedigree of the DS 168. It looks an awful lot like
the HS5125.
Originally I was using DS5125's and had so many problems, they reside in
the misc only for planes you don't care about drawer. I'm afraid to
use them. I've been using DS368's for ailerons and HS5245's for flaps,
One day out of 365 is not bad AB, I lived in the garden spot of Amarillo for a
couple years in another life, it toughend you up in the soaring business. Went
from flying Oly II's to Multiplex ships in about 2 months out there out of just
trying to survive.

We're having a heat wave too. Our temps were up to 34 degrees and the wind

I would also like to know if the DS168 is a better choice than the 5125. I
was thinking of using them in the new Supra for ailerons.

Frank, Im not familiar with this
particular plane but Id agree with you. The obechi we get here in the
US is going to be pretty thin on a 5M wing unless you have a substantial spar
system. Have you thought of using 2 layers of the thin obechi?

Frank,
Sounds like you are taking on a project that may be
a bit beyond your experience. No problem, just make sure you are getting
good advice -- make sure that person has been there and done that.

smaller sailplanes to larger scale ships,

Damn...what are you guys doing to kill the flat wing servos? I used the
Hitec 5125s on the ailerons of my first Pike Superior (mainly because I
was lazy and the JR 168 leads were too short) and never had a problem
for two years. They get killed the first time out with the plane's new
owner.
Just got my new Supra from Kennedy Composites today and its beautiful. Does
anyone know the tow hook location in inches or mm. from the nose cone line
or the boom line on the pod?

I am pondering though what thickness the cores are
