Re: [RCSE] Best place to purchase Volz servos?

[Jim Laurel]

Well, it's still on the bench, so haven't flown it yet!  But I'll 
report to the exchange when I do.  The quality of construction is 
certainly outstanding.  It seems very well thought out and 
straightforward.

The only dilemma I'm running into on the Tragi is wing servo 
installation.  I have some DS368s, and had intended to install them 
with the Greening servo frames.  However, the cutouts are shaped in 
such a way that I would never be able to access the servo frame screw 
for removal anyway, so that leaves me with gluing the servos in place.  
The servo cutouts seem to be tailor made for the Volz Wing Maxx servo 
and it looks those would fit perfectly with the CNC mounts and leave 
all the screws accessible.

On the Pike, the cutouts are such that the servos will fit fine and 
leave plenty of access to the screws on the Greening mount, but the 
Greening mount raises the servo just enough that it will cause a bulge 
in the servo cover.  It's not a huge issue and not likely to affect 
flight performance in any measurable way.  But I'm trying to do the 
best job I can both functionally and cosmetically.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'd like to hear the 
latest wisdom on gluing vs installing servos with mounts.  Also, the 
DS368 vs Wing Maxx HP for flaps and ailerons in big moldies.  Gordy 
suggested MIcroMaxx HPs, which have a bit more torque than the DS368, 
but I suspect that, with the mounts, I'm going to have the same issues 
with getting to the mount screws.  So, I wonder if it's worth the extra 
expense of going to the Volz.

Gordy: any particular reason you suggested the Micro Maxx X servos 
rather than the Wing Maxx?  Is it just a torque issue?
