<<These frames weigh next to nothing and can be glued into the wing with medium or black CA. >>
I think I'll just start taping a 1/2 ounce of lead to every servo for absolutely no reason... ;-) I enjoyed that thread of a few weeks ago where the engineer, don't know his name, talked about getting all the unnecessary weight out of his model. I'm pretty much the same way, without getting nuts about it. I put my servos in with a mixture of 5 minute and micro-balloons (Peanut butter thick mixture). I do not prepare the servo by sanding it or cleaning so it will stick to the epoxy mixture. They pop right out if need be. And there is a little "pocket" remaining to drop the next servo right in. Of course you can wrap the servo in masking tape, saran wrap, or even put mold release on it... In my Insanity, (a bagged wing POS), I did have Dave Hauch put a false bottom of ply into the servo hole, since the Airtronics new wing servos have little mounting lugs... but even as many times as I've slammed that thing into the ground, never had to change a servo. So I won't mess with that in the next one. I realize the "anal retentives" in the group need the install to be pretty. After the servo covers go on... who can see it? My main question remains... what are you guys doing to destroy your servos? Instead of bullding all of this unnecessary crap into your airplanes, why not learn to NOT break the darn things??? Just thinkin' out loud... D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
