Re: [RCSE] Best place to purchase Volz servos?
Well, it's still on the bench, so haven't flown it yet! But I'll report to the exchange when I do. The quality of construction is certainly outstanding. It seems very well thought out and straightforward. The only dilemma I'm running into on the Tragi is wing servo installation. I have some DS368s, and had intended to install them with the Greening servo frames. However, the cutouts are shaped in such a way that I would never be able to access the servo frame screw for removal anyway, so that leaves me with gluing the servos in place. The servo cutouts seem to be tailor made for the Volz Wing Maxx servo and it looks those would fit perfectly with the CNC mounts and leave all the screws accessible. On the Pike, the cutouts are such that the servos will fit fine and leave plenty of access to the screws on the Greening mount, but the Greening mount raises the servo just enough that it will cause a bulge in the servo cover. It's not a huge issue and not likely to affect flight performance in any measurable way. But I'm trying to do the best job I can both functionally and cosmetically. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'd like to hear the latest wisdom on gluing vs installing servos with mounts. Also, the DS368 vs Wing Maxx HP for flaps and ailerons in big moldies. Gordy suggested MIcroMaxx HPs, which have a bit more torque than the DS368, but I suspect that, with the mounts, I'm going to have the same issues with getting to the mount screws. So, I wonder if it's worth the extra expense of going to the Volz. Gordy: any particular reason you suggested the Micro Maxx X servos rather than the Wing Maxx? Is it just a torque issue? --Jim Laurel Seattle Washignton, USA On Apr 12, 2005, at 6:59 AM, Jerry S. Millett wrote: Hi Jim, I'm considering a Tragi 705X. What's your impression of the 705X?

[RCSE] Plane came down.
Today, my plane fell from the tree. It had been in that tree since August. It survived 40MPH winds; several blizzards and a couple heavy rains. The Receiver and Servos survived fine. The speed control appears to be fine also but the motor and gear box haven't yet been found so I haven't tested it yet. Surprisingly, the LiPoly battery seems to fine! It's holding firm at 3.75v per cell. But I've not put a real load on it yet so I'll find out them. But I'm real surprised that it's doing even this good because the battery was left ON for 8 months! I did loose my baseloaded shorty antenna. But all and all, I can't complain. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Shadow Receiver Test
Well, the foot of snow we had on Sunday is gone, the flying field is dry and the temp was about 60, so it was a good day to get out at lunchtime and do some tests. My new Shadow 3 was put in my beater ICON and range tested. It showed slightly better range than the hitec superslim that was in it before. All directions were good so I launched and specked it out and no problems were observed. My buddy Mike Verzuh came along and slammed his 57 module in and we were going to see how in handled interference. We were very impressed. As long as I was a few feet closer to the model, I had full control, as we got next to each other the receiver would kick into failsafe. I set the failsafe to 3/4 landing mode (flaps and elevator comp) and some left rudder. I got some altitude and turned off the transmitter. There were no glitches or wierdness - it simply put the flaps down and started a slow circling descent. I let it run for about 30 seconds, then turned back on and control was instantly back. All in all very impressive for a PPM receiver. Jim RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Plane came down.
Put a load on her Bill, let us know the results... OK, I just walked to my shop and put a load on the LiPoly battery (working from home has it's advantages). I turned the load on but as I walked back to my chair, it died. It lasted only 1.5 minutes with a load that should have lasted 20min or more. I'll try charging it again. But, it's looking like the common wisdom of never completely discharging them is proving true. Bill RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Jim Bacus is right - it IS the daily driver, it was not purchased new and it was not in pristine condition when I got it and I didn't pay anywhere near the retail cost for it. It does still fly great though and I can get froggy with it and not worry too much about what's gonna happen.
