Default RE: Homie 25 Throttle spring????????/

Hi,

I really recommend snipping the hook off so the spring doesn't work at all, or removing the spring entirely. The servo doesn't need the added load, and it will increase the draw on your receiver battery.

What are you flying, or going to fly your Homey 25cc on? What rpm/props? I get over 8200 with an APC 16 x 8 with mine, and am thinking of buying the new Hanger 9 "Ultra Lite Stick" for it. I also have an old Goldberg Ultimate Biplane kit that I'm seriously thinking about "bashing" and putting the 25cc on it! Just under 1000 square inches of wing area, and should come out less than 10 lbs. The Homey will almost even fit under the cowl. Or I could make a round cowl, change the shape of the tail, and have a sorta "stand way the hell off" scale Nieuport with those swept back wings. Could be fun...

Good luck,
AV8TOR
