Guys like to argue on here. i will always cut my spring from the arm unless the instruction included with the engine say not to.
Why put a big strong servo to operate the throttle and spring lol to me that is just plain going against the grain per say. its not needed so i am cutting it.
Do as you wish.
I agree, everyone should do as they wish regarding the spring. But, the whole point of this thread and the chart is to point out that "a big strong servo" is not needed to overcome the spring pressure. Any standard sized servo has more than enough torque to overcome the spring and not be worked even a small portion of what it is capable of. Many will choose a stronger servo or one with more precision and that is understandable given the many styles of flight.
The whole point here is be informed and make a decision based on real information and not just the old wives tales that are so prevalent in our RC hobby! But given that, I do not disagree with anyone's choice regarding the spring thing ....it is their airplane.
