You should make up a few lighter ballast slug of the same weight. Say
two 3 oz slugs. When you want more you just add the two lighter ones
both front and back. That adds another 6 oz. If you have another set of
6 oz slugs for front and back that add another 6 oz. So you can add 6,
12, or 18 oz.

I think you are confusing two different incidents.
One was where the timer had to take over the flight. It was scored a
zero.
The other was where someone lost sight of the plane. I think they
finally did regain sight and continue to fly but a bit disconcerting to
hear the timer counting off the

About a year ago I had a problem with some HS-205MG Hitec servos, or so

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
Someone once told me that it is not the span of a plane so much as the
viewable width dimension of the wing that makes it able to be seen
easily.
Like the way a plane can become near invisible to the eye as it flys
directly toward or away from you. Still the same span but very hard to
see.
Thanks to those that posted info on the Patton Aircraft P51B a few weeks
ago.
I had completed it last evening and took it out in some decent
conditions today at Chickies Rock here in Central PA. Nice sunny day,
after a storm yesterday and evening that left behind about 5 to 6 inches
of snow.
If I understand gyros correctly I would like all the flyers to use them,
except me of course.
It should enable a TD plane to fly right through a thermal and due to
the gyro resisting change, give no indication of it at all.
Yes? No? Maybe?

Possibly the calculator is haveing a problem with the extreme
deflections of the flap function,(90 degrees).
I also think that you are using some unresonable numbers as far as

planes, but I know when I pull flaps on my TD ship I
Just did some quick calculations on the servo calc program and if you
drop the speed value down to 50 - 55 mph you will come in around the
55oz torque value of the HS-225's.
I still feel this is too high a speed to be pulling full flaps for
normal TD flying.

Don't think so. I threw a Red Herring for a while and it is just a whole

to it. Working out with a HLG can be Heaven or Hell. The better you get

Is it possible that the reason the servos are no longer jittering is
due to the difference in the pattern of the signal being sent out of

I'm not the expert on this subject but the way it was explained to me
is that the regular collasping antenna generates a
