[RCSE] Flat Land Sloping

2001-02-22 Thread Perry Hudson
I spent the morning doing some flat land sloping. The breeze was at 10 and slowly building. By the time I had the winch set up the breeze was at 12 to 15. I figured what the heck, so I went ahead and launched my Super Sapphire. With normal launch flaps on and a tiny bit of down elevator

About a year ago I had a problem with some HS-205MG Hitec servos, or so I thought! On landing they would seem to find a new center. I would retrim and center them and the next hard, flap dragging landing would have them out of whack again. I though something was moving/slipping internally in the

[RCSE] Servo damage? Just wondering :-)

Why did you go the RCSE instead of contacting Karlton at MPX first? That's rhetorical, as in doesn't deserve an answer! Just wondering though, as you can see you got a bunch of useless specualtion from some nice guys hoping to find SOMETHING to reply to. But inspite of that, fairly often

Sorry Gordy, but I have to disagree. There is no more way for Karlton to know whether his servos moved or his linkages came loose or bent versus whether the servo(s) have sustained damage (unless he takes them out and mails them in). The guys gave him some good suggestions of things to check --

Well if the servos work and show no signs of gear damage. Then something moved! first look at what could have moved or compressed.. Like hinge tape or links. BUT I would check the servos if they moved more then a little; To check the servos in the plane first before going to more aggressive

BTW with a MCV2 you will strip the servo horn spline before the case or the gear goes. Check the servo horn.. Smooth Sailing, Karlton Spindle http://www.MultiplexRC.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

These might be quite good, but when I investigated them over a year ago the stepper controller was very large compared to the motor. Chris -Original Message- From: Bill Johns [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, February 22, 2001 8:59 AM Subject:

Bill, I recall Mark Smith using screw top 35 mm film cannisters to hold the lead shot in the Windfree. When I had a ship like that I placed tubes that could be loaded from the side, like a wingpin, and then a piece of tape held them in. Simple. Chris -Original Message- From: Bill
