Re: [RCSE] spoilers in an olmpic 2

The spoilers shown on the Oly II plans are quite adequate. Since we now have 
small servos and computer radios I would activate the spoilers with servos. 
One servo in the fuselage and string, tubing etc. works well if you want to 
go that way--a little more trouble rigging is all.

I’ve built the OLYII three ways.  

1.  With servo in fuselage,
spoilers activated by strings as shown on plans.  Spoilers seldom closed properly, and a hassle to hook up at
the field.  Very inexpensive

2.  Servo in fuselage.  Spoilers hooked up with Very Flexible
Sullivan control cables.  Works
very well, spoilers open and close in a very positive manner.  Still a hassle to hookup at the field.
Slightly more expensive, but much better than option 1 (above).  

3.  Hitec HS80 in each wing.  Hooked directly to Servo.  Y harness to hook to throttle (spoiler)
channel on four channel receiver. 
Works best, Easy hookup at field. 
Most expensive.

 

Hope this helps.  Good Luck, 
Happy New Year

 

Jack

has anyone
built an olympic 2 with the spoiler option ?  i want to add them
while i'm building the plane and was wondering if the design on the plans is
the best way to go with the servo in the fuselage . i thought it might work
better to put the servo in the wing ! any thoughts on this?
