RE: [RCSE] elevator servo?
The only servo I have had fail was a Hitec HS 55, cost me a DLG. Two or three other guys around here had them fail about the same time. Maybe just a bad batch. Ed Franz RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [RCSE] RE: Servo Performance Survey
Nathan, Could you elaborate more as to what your failures were and what you felt caused them? I would be interested in how many were caused by either crashes or just plain hard landings at some of the rougher sites you guys fly at like Vincent and Parker. Also, how many just failed under normal use? I am just curious, not trying to raise doubt in your claim.

Hitec's are great servos, used appropriately, though their new digital wing servo looks VERY enticing.

RE: [RCSE] RE: Servo Performance Survey
I am just curious, not trying to raise doubt in your claim. Well then, let's set things straight: 1. Unless it's another SWC update, virtually every post on RCSE is an editorial style post. ie, an opinion. 2. In my opinion, servo failure is when a servo breaks, as in, ceases to work effectively for the task to which it was intended. Stripping gears is not a big deal. Especially with Hitec's because the gear sets are readily available at any hobby shop. This is not a failure Combat was a successful profit center for Hitec from 1997 to 2001. They sold tens of thousands of HS-85's to combat pilots. I say it is normal use, within certain proper expectations. I almost always used MG's, and always used Kimbrouogh servo savers. I rarely had a stripped gear from combat, and if I did, I just paid the $3 for a gear set and went on my merry way. This is *not* a failure. Seized motors, bad solders, impossible centering, and generally weak construction that results in normal handling causing damage are failures. Wing servos that are not strong enough to survive the loads put on them by our typical control surfaces (aileron flaps) are failures. Servos that don't hold up to crash landing are not failures. Servos that break when pulling the wing from the wing bag are failures. and so forth and so on, in my opinion.

The photon short kit is $300. The completed kit is $400. No one at Pierce flies the simply the best anymore.

[RCSE] Aero Model Hilite HLG
For the record. Mr. B Yen is incorrect in his comments re the Photon. The Photon is currently $ 400 for a complete airframe, and $ 300 for an unfinished model. The wing is built in the old eastern block and is hi tech composite, similar to a Simply the Best or Graphite. I build the rest of the model. hopefully, I will have Pods, and tail groups within the next 2 months and at then point, I will offer ARF's at a reduced price. A limited number of Covered flapped wings are are currently available for $ 180. Covered unflapped wings are $ 165.

RE: [RCSE] elevator servo?
Have I just been lucky so far, or are there some horror stories lurking out there concerning these servos? Good golly no. No horror stories here. I've only had ONE failure in 23 years! I consider that Great. Notice I didn't mention the servos that have been broken in combat, crashes, etc... Those cases were my fault. Only normal usage failures are of interest here.

Craig Toutolmin will CD, Scott Hewett is building a pilot stand and Cliff Lindgren is supplying a porto-potty. The SoCal gang are supplying lights and poles. I will do the entry fees and channel conflicts while Gavin will still be taking care of our campsite and many other details. Nathan has kindly agreed to do a post on Sloperacing.com, check it out for further details and sponsors. This is the biggest unlimited race in the country. It is possible that the SoCal Manly Pilots Assn. will dare to show up to challenge the Shell Ridge Sissy boys...but I doubt it somehow. There will be trophies (not trophy wives) or plaques for the first 3 pilots. Best wreck gets $100. The first 30 checks I receive will be confirmed entries, after that I will create a waiting list, holding your check till after the race, so if a space later becomes available I will deposit your check. From what I hear checks should be sent ASAP. The $30 fee covers the workers raffle, workers food, pilot stand materials, porto-potty and trophies (trophy wives will be a lot extra). Workers (limited to 20) who volunteer their time will be eligible to enter a raffle for an Acacia II sponsored by F3X, but cannot also be pilots. Great odds for a great plane. Many volunteers are needed to run this event properly and the fees will be used to pay for raffle prizes and to cover expenses. Please email me if u want to volunteer. To enter the race, please mail me your $30 entry fee plus; 1. Your AMA #, (remember to bring your card to the event). 2.Your frequency and backup frequency numbers; 3.Your email address.

Very compact, light weight but with a tremendous torque, thus avoiding the use of a gearbox when a large size prop is needed. The largest motor of the series: 40-5 will swing a 20x10 size prop and able to easily fly a 18 Lbs airplane.
