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

Kimbrough products also makes molded couplers that fasten directly to the output gear of a servo that eliminates the need for servo savers. No horn or clevis is used. There is nothing external to catch on anything. Great for combat. Go to http://www.proptwisters.org/rds2/ for pages of details. I k

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. RB Bill Johns wrote: > > Greeting

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 speed. 75mph is not an unresonable number as far as speed of some planes, but I know when I pull flaps on my TD ship I a

Bill, No disrespect intended, but what you're not doing right is pulling full flaps at 75 mph. Most full-house planes thermal around at 20-30 mph. First go out and fly your plane. Get it nice and high and [ut your plane in a dive to get the airspeed to 75 mph. Then pull full flaps... suddenly
