RE: A little SBus data for future users.
More RCU urban myths !
Its actually a lot LESS than you think. Weatronics records it all at .1 second intervals.
Masses of accumulated data on a number of large jets show the exact current draws at each and every servo position at the whole range of GPS speeds for the entire flight.
Average current for an Airworld Hawk with numerous 8711s is around 3 amps.
Doubt if even the Futaba 18 does that ?
So with a Weatronic 12-22 or larger receiver, one can create a graph to plot a given servo position, total current, battery voltage and GPS speed (even IAS with the link Vario connected) to show EXACTLY the situation.
Just ONE of the reasons I have converted to the Weatronics system, in many aspects, particularly precise data recording, its vastly more capable than any other system I know of.
