Default RE: Futaba Receivers & Servos for SIG Wonder


After researching replacement servos considering original S133, suggestions and comments from forum members and Futaba rep- decided to go with three (3) Futaba S3115 servos for my SIGWonder.

S3115: Micro- Mini, Precision
Torque/Speed(60 degrees) @ 4.8V:39 in-oz/0.15 sec.
Torque/Speed(60 degrees) @ 6.0V: n/a

Will use MAGNUM .15 engine and 4.8v NiMh 750 mAh battery.

Decided on the Futaba R617FS receiver - a full range 7 channel Rx unit with capacity for monitoring devices.

Intend to make some improvements where feasible, like wing attachment, control pushrods, skid protection, and battery charge level monitoring.

Would appreciate forum member comments regarding any "hindsight" improvements they would recommend, along with constructions tips and pointers.

Will report progress as I go.
