Re: [RCSE] Servo question
Hi Daryl, I solely fly AIRTRONICS servos, except if I purchase a used airframe.((As an O.E.M, I sell them in aircraft as well) I have flown many of 091 servos in all sorts of different and complex models. From Hlg, Dlg, aerobatic foamies and electrics. I have used over 100 of these in different configurations. My latest is in a DS model I market that typically goes 185mph as an electric.It has 091's all around. I have a mini Ellipse electric that I also run 091's through out, and has historically been flawless. When Airtronics began the quest for development of a small , accurate glider wing servo to replace the very popular 141 for sailplanes, we went through many iterations that were not as successful as hoped for unil the very popular 761 digital was released (501,555,556,557 were all some what unsatisfactory attempts). In my frustration, I kept saying to the development team.. why can't we make it as good as the 091. I have literally beat on them in the hlgs and foamies, and electrics, and never so much as stripped a gear. They are reasonably fast for their size, are small,light, and very accurate. I have heli buddies who switched from perceived better servos in the T Rex size helis to all 091's and the digital 761 on tail rotor, and all are converted from the popular marketed. Recently , with AIRTRONICS being exclusively distributed by GLOBAL, the price has come down significantly, and are now a great value as well. I run these servos on the Topaz spoilers .(they won Visalia and Pheonix in the model) With that said, I wouldn't risk this small servo in a competition unlimited ship on ailerons due only to surface area, even if they are split. My guess, you would be under sized for the application you describe. Also the long servo arm is not strong enough for your application. I'd take the weight hit and put in 761's all around and launch it and land it in nomal competition fashion. On my web site I have stated for years that the 091 servo and 515 Airtronics Rx isAIRTRONICS best kept secret... that message still stands. The Airtronics 091 servo is great in the realm for which it was desi gned .

I fly solely Airtronics equip - servos, radios, receivers... I don't pay attention to any other manufacturers products. My Stalker utilizes a 6 servo wing. 761's are good for the flaps, but for the 4 ailerons, 761's are overkill. I can use them, and they'll fit, but I don't want to carry the extra weight. Airtronics has a 94091Z Super Microlite Servo. The torque ratings are fine for my purpose. Does anyone have experience with these? Centering? Gear train? Etc??? What other servo from any other manufacturer in this size and weight might you guys recommend and why? For reference: Weight: 0.32 ounces Size:0.91 x 0.44 x 0.87 Torque (6V): 23 In oz.

Re: [RCSE] Servo question
I have two 94091Z servos for spoilers on a RES ship. After a short period of time one stopped working. After I removed it from the wing it appeared that the servo overheated and melted the housing, it had shrunk in one area. I replaced it with another 94091Z and it has worked for several months without any failures. Hey guys, Quick question for those of you servo experts.

[RCSE] Servo question
I am looking for a couple of thin wing servos. I know JR has a digital thin wing servo, cant remember the number, very much similar to the Hitec 5125. I have heard it is the same servo, made by the same people, but with different electronics. Is that true? Just wondering because I know the 5125 gears strip easily, was wondering if the JR version does also. Thanks, Walter RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Servo question
Gidday all, I can confirm that the gears on the 5125 do strip easily, Just a firm landing and the weight of the Flap was enough to strip both flap final gears. Investigation showed that the final gear was aluminium which to my mind is far too soft for the job it has to do. It would be nice to hear from someone that the JR final gear is at least Brass and not subject to failure. I too, await the definitive info.

Re: [RCSE] Servo question
I should order a couple and try them out... http://www.horizonhobby.com/Shop/ByCategory/Product/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPS168 They look like nice aileron servos, but I don't think I would use them for flaps.

I've had them on my Pike Superior flaps for ~1-1/2 years, without a single problem. Tom James V.

Re: [RCSE] Servo question
Excellent... I still like 368's for that application, I have the space for them.
