RE: Throttle servo
Well, I flew the plane with a new HS-85 and a new West 36...
The servo lasted 2 ground runs and 3 short flights. That servo is going into the wing where the elevon servos are.
And on a side note, the new engine was ridiculously tight...I'll post some video of it, it took me about 45 minutes and a lot of propane torch to get it going! And I don't trust the rod, again, after yanking it out of TDC about 50 times... [:'(]
