Default RE: Piedmont motor mount question?

Steve,

Hmm, that sounds a little low to me, and you might want to double check the connections. I hooked up the current meter wrong once, and instead of measuring the total current, I was really measuring across just one servo.

My numbers for my DZ 140 and aluminum beam Hyde mount (ARA), JR digitals all around - 9411s in the wings, 9411s on each stab, 8411 rudder, 3421 throttle, is 1 amp draw at full throttle. This is in my Partner which I think is nearly an apple to apple comparison to Troy's Supreme because he uses the same mount. Troy if I am not mistaken, the major difference between our setup is that you use a DZ 160. The other difference is that you use just one servo on the elevator, whereas I use two.
