Hanger 9 Cap 232 -- SETUPs
Dazzler,
As you vividly pointed out the fact is I have two of them on my Ultra Stick 60 and they don't hold their centering very well. Now I guess it could be my Futaba 8UAF, but I think if the TX was responsible then their would be many more comments out here.
"The longer arms will exagerate the centering issue. You would need to go to the digital verion or coreless servos to get more precise centering."
You should be familiar with this response from Mike from Jim D complaining about centering, since you referred michael lewis to it. It clearly shows that Mike acknowledges that the 605s do not center very well and he even recommends the digitals.
BTW, I didn't start this thread to compete with other's experiences or flame anyone -- I want to learn from their experiences so I can set up my new plane from those lessons learned. Like most anyone when I express a observation about a piece of equipment and someone responds that the only problem has to be your ability to use it then I tend to respond in kind. If you look carefully at my last post you can see that my response was aimed at:
"Anybody that can't get thier servos to center is their own fault"
I'm fully aware that quality comes at a price -- just a little dissapointed that the Hitec 605BB does not hold its centering as well as I would like it to.
With all that aside, what is your recommendation for this plane's servos? Do you think the 605BBs are appropriate for this 1/4-scale airplane? As I stated earlier, I would eventually like to move to 3D with this plane but only after a long period of advancement in my flying capabilities.
CAP232CM,
"Hillgja you better watch your tone with me. " What tone is that? Do you really think flaming others with baseless statements like "Anybody that can't get thier servos to center is their own fault" is a constructive tone? What was I suppose to learn from that? All you've done is turn my "please help me" thread into a flame war. Nine times out of ten your going to get the same responce you got from me.
BTW Moderator, I think, thanks to CAP232CM, this thread is no longer a positive contribution to this forum. Please delete it.
