Guys, I hesitate posting this, as it is a rather shameless plug for my favorite radio company and one of their new products.... but I think it's nice to finally have another quality option for servos. JR has pretty much owned the market for wing servos in the past few years. I just rec'd this unsolicited email from a friend of mine, who had been building out my newest Insanity, and as such, was exposed to the prototype servos I've been running. He has since purchased the production versions:
">i put a new Airtronics digital servo in one flap and left the brand X servo in the > other. > using a 4 cell pack. > > *the airtronic servo looks twice as fast. > *i put a one lb. weight on the trailing edge right by the control horn, > the brand x servo wouldn't move it, the Airtronics would. > *trailing edge is tight with no movement with the Airtronics digital, the brand x has a ton > of slop. > *The Airtronics is .030 skinnier too. > > I just found my new servo from now on. > I just ordered 20 from Tower. > with there little coupons they knocked off $80. bucks!" This is just one individual's experience with the servos. Your results obviously may vary. He seems pretty happy. He was a staunch brand x supporter before these servos. I'll be the first to admit, that Airtronics has lagged behind in the area of product development for both servos and radios in the past few years. They are very strong in the car market. These servos demonstrate a commitment to remaining a player in the years to come. We also have a new radio coming. I can't wait for that one.... Next time you're ready to order some servos, consider the new Airtronics digitals. Let us all on the exchange know what you think - pros and cons. I think the part number is 94671Z. Sounds like a zip code... ;-) Thanks for the bandwidth, D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
