Wow! about 5 response in 15 minutes. Why aren't you guys watching the
political debates???
OK, I see my problem. No, I would never actually do that, i.e. drop flaps
at full dive. We have one guy around here who does that every now and then
at a contest. Amazing how far the sound of an exploding wing will carry.
Amazing how much energy you can store in a foam/glass wing to make that
much noise. ;-)
My problem was that I was playing with a computer. With this kinda
calculating power it is easy to play "what if" games and I was setting up a
totally unreasonable, worst case scenario.
I stand corrected and I am using the servo calculator correctly, just not
using reasonable numbers.
Thanks to all who responded and to Karlton for making such a neat program
available.
