So much has changed in the last few years as to Radio Gear. I fly all JR Radio stuff, but wanted to know what everyone is using for Servos, Batteries, Receivers for Unlimited Warbird Stuff such as WM Spitfire and YS 115. All my 72mhz stuff is outdated and going to be updating it. Thanks Kevin
Kevin,
I'm running DMSS transmitter(s) with various servos. However, the JR ST126MG (sport metal gear 126 ounce servo) is what I use on elevator and aileron (single aileron servo with torque tubes) for this years winning airplane - not super pricey and plenty of power. If you are making the switch from 72 I would highly recommend the JR XG11 or XG14 radios. The signal is rock solid and the telemetry features are a lot of fun.... and also pretty simple to use. I have on board RPM which feeds to my radio.... I like to check max RPM at the end of each heat. In fact at this years last race the RPM in flight max reading helped me to trouble shoot a motor heading south before it actually cost me major points.
As for batteries, I'm currently running LiFE batteries from Hobby King. I like the nanotech 1700 2 cell in most my racers... that way all my race planes are the same.
I hope this helped.
Jim
