Power useage 5995 TG's
Hello!
Hope someone can help, just curious about something. I have a few large 3d planes, mostly around 90"; all using 5995TG servo's (5 in each ariframe). I checked the amount of power used this weekend after 4 flights and it came out to be around 2.4 Ah....Is this normal, it seems like alot!!
All 4 flights were around 12 min duration and the aircraft was being worked hard in 3d type manouvers (rolling harrier circuits etc...)
SHould i be worried about a problem with a servo somewhere or is 600mAh per flight ok?
Cheers

RE: Power useage 5995 TG's
The stall current is about 3 amps on each servo with the average current around 1 amp depending on flight conditions. Multiply this by 5 servos and that's 5 Ah... You're below that so all seems fine.
