RE: Servo question. Enlightenment, please!

Thank you very much. That makes perfect sense. I kinda thought that the .3oz weight for each might be rounded, but the rest of the equation eluded me. The LHS couldn't tell me this answer.

RE: Disastrous maiden flight. Help, please.

That's interesting, Walt. I wouldn't have thought that the little servos would take much power.

RE: Disastrous maiden flight. Help, please.

At the LHS, we determined that the problem was the esc. The motor ran fine with a different one. So, the LHS cut me a deal on another Grayson. I hooked it up, knowing that I might have to switch two...
