[RCSE] Stylus full house electric setup

2005-09-20 Thread Michael Conte
Hello to all, I'm setting up my first electric full house sailplane (Muller Escape) and would like to know what other Stylus users have for their basic setup. So far, I'm using the F5B setup described ever so briefly in the glider card manual. I'd like the flaps to remain on the throttle

Re: [RCSE] Anybody use torque system for spoiler return?

2005-09-20 Thread Ben Hocker
I did about the same for spoiler return springs on my old Craft Air Viking. Similar dimensions, maybe 0.032" wire, it's hard to remember exactly. Similar trial-and-error approach to adjusting the torque spring tension. It worked very well. -Ben Bill Conkling wrote: Yes, I used a small

[RCSE] Removing wing servo...

2005-09-20 Thread noel_wade
Hello all, Any tips on how to gently remove a servo that's been hot-glue'd into the center section of a Graphite? The thin glass/sheeted center-section seems very fragile and the previous owner used a TON of hot glue on this flap servo that needs replacing... *sigh* Since it's not glued to

You could take some fishing leader steel or even mono (less likely to work) and try sawing it out. move the line back and forth slowly between the servo and bottom... You could build a soldering gun wire that could cut thru the hot melt glue.. You could bend a #11 blade and cut and heat it

If you've got a Harbor Freight in your town, you may want to look into their 12V rotary tool kit... $7.99 w/ a bunch of routing, cutting and buffing bits. You can also run it directly off of DC power! It's cheap and doesn't have a whole lot of torque, but I use it quite a bit for surgical

OK, Here's a probably dumb idea... Would it be possible to gently heat the outside of the wing skin? Such that the glue would get soft? Don't know but may work. Then the glue could be removed piece by piece. Other wise there's the dental floss sawing method. It's a pain but safe. Bill Swingle

Good idea. But prudence will still be required. Don't know how fragile the skin will be. The dremeling out the servo idea was also interesting. Bill Swingle RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that
