Re: [RCSE] Foamies versus Glass Slippers

Has Soar Utah put any rules into effect that will prevent future incidents of that sort, such as banning foamies? Can anyone provide more details of that incident? Thanks I had heard of that event. The person who recalled it to me (he was certainly there) said that Brian knew the risks a took his chances. There was a twinkle of pride in having a custom plane paint mark on his foamie. There could be a hill dedicated to such stubborn, narrow minded, thick skulled people. Perhaps a club that caters to this niche of our hobby. It could be promoted as an exclusive private club, lacking any accomplished pilots or pristine planes. A re-kitters retreat so to speak. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] The 'old' Blue ones... servos that is :-)
Important to note, the 'gears' didn't break it was that group of pins. Call it what you want. The part that broke on both in my wing-maxx servos was a tooth on the large gear of the output shaft. I would concider that a gear break. The red servos have the brittle idler shafts. Aside from a few NIB problems (which were promptly corrected) and the two gears incidents the blues have woked very well. Craig RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Voltz Servos
All the servos out there have some sort of problem. The gears get sloppy really fast, the idler shafts bend really easy, they need to re-centered in different temps, the range of movement varies dramatically from identical servos, the detents blow out of the case top, they just stop working, some are DOA, service sucks, replacements parts are unavailable, and on. I have used and still use Multiplex, Volz, JR and Hitec servos. They all have problems, but with careful selection they can all work well in appropriate applications. Gordy, you can add Volz servos to the current F3F American record. I use Wingmaxx in the ailerons and HS 225 in the rest. Multiplex flap servos were used in Tom's Mojo for the DS speed record (186 mph) and Wingmaxx for the ailerons. I think Reese (186 mph) was using Jr 368's. I believe Hewett (183 mph) was using 141's. I flew a smaller plane to 168 mph using hs 85mg's. It is all over the board. Beyond the original purchase price and the durability of the servo you must consider the repair service. Gordy's service for Volz is top notch. Hitec's service is good. Jr service is good. My two cents, Craig Toutolmin RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
