Re: [RCSE] The First Synthesized TX Module
Also don't forget EK which I understood to have the first proportional system with their Logictrol unit, late 70's I think. That must be erroneous though since, according to Bill, Pro-Line already had dual rate in the mid-70's.

[RCSE] RE: casting lead
Lead can be melted in a small iron skillet on any stove. The one I use has curved lip for pouring. Cheap and efficient. Others may suggest mold design.

[RCSE] Re: flap servos and a photo too :-)
Hi Gordy, I'm flying an Eraser with Stylus. Like both. I'm still in the process of dialing in the Eraser, Stylus and myself. BTW, servo pockets on the eraser are deep enough that thicknes is not a critical parameter. That's a great picture and thanks for your comments.

If anyone has any data on digital/analog mixing failure (or success) please reply. TIA. Hi Walter, What planes are you flying this season? Which TX are you using. I am flying the Pike and use Stylus..obviosly with Volz servos...hundreds of hours of flight time during the year and still using the same servos :-) Gordy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Flap servos for open class TD
Anyone care to comment on how HiTec HS-5245MG servos perform as flap servos on open class TD plane? Also considering JR368, AirTronics 94141 and Volz Micro Maxx. These have roughly comprable published specs (size, weight, torque, metal gears, speed) and price. Also want servos to be quiet, have good centering and small slop. Any comments would be appreciated.

Re:[RCSE] Flap Servos for open class TD
James, I've heard nothing but good comments on the 368. Also, at 0.5 they are as good as any in this group on thickness (they are thin). Rick, I believe you are referring to the HS -5245MG and audible noise, right? Did the old AirTronics recvr have a problem driving the digis? Albert, I haven't read up in the digitals. Are they more accurate in positioning? I've heard they draw relatively high peak current compared to analog. Thanks to all for comments. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Flap servos for open class TD, Jim B said it best
The VolzMicro-Maxx X and Micro-Maxx XP are rated at 56 and 67 oz. in., respectively. Both are 0.51 in. thick. JR DS368 is rated at 53 oz. in. and is 0.5 in. thick. The HiTech HS-5245MG is rated at 61 oz. in. and is 0.7 in. thick. Is the HiTech superior to the others since it is 40% thicker? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 8:25 PM Subject: [RCSE] Flap servos for open class TD, Jim B said it best Also, no need to use thin servos unless you don't have the space for anything else. NEVER use thin servos when you can use thick servos. You can only make a watch so strong (unless its a Timex :-).Thin servos are for thin wings. Gordy

TIA. - Original Message - From: d. o. darnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 9:49 PM Subject: [RCSE] flap servos I have used Airtronics 94141s at flap on many ships over the years with great success. I have even replaced Volz micromaxs in one of my Heras and think the 141 worked better although. The newer Volz servos are probably better. The only problem with 141s that I ever encountered was an axle hogging out the case causing slop (after a LONG time) but this is easily remedied with a new case replacement (cheap). If you DO use digitals, use ALL digitals: Mixing analog and digitals might not be a good idea, but you could probably get an argument to the contrary. If you don't need thin servos, the 94141s are as good as any other servo available for flap, or any other surface for that matter. If you want to buy some 94141s or any other Airtronics gear, Please check my website at WWW.Dozone.com/AIRTRONICS . I believe you'll find my prices are as good as any available. D.O.
