YW, EVOL. Glad you got it sorted out. I had no such problems- they were hard enough my first time working with these atom sized units. Let me know how it goes. Were you using "Battery Holddown magnets" instead of the others? Cant imagine how they would be wrong size. They wrap the mags up in the label- took me awhile to find them first time!


Quote Hatty- "Would it matter that I have an electron 6 that I am wanting to hook an actuator up to? I just do not want to screw up my reciever."

The magnetic actuators are completely different than motor servos- and are not compatible with anything but the RFFS-100. The Electron would weigh so much more than the RFFS that it would be pointless even if it were possible. I'm sure it would fry both!

Quote Hatty- "Also, how much torque can an actuator usually put out? Are they comparable to, say, an HS-55?"

The torque of these guys is just a few percent of the geared motor units. Most servos provide far more torque than is needed- in medium and low performance models.

Compared to an HS-55? Divide by 100 and you are getting close. With the load on a surface of a micro measured in grams, it is all you need for this application and they handle great. Understand that a complete 1 ounce plane with this system weighs only a bit more than 2 HS-55s!

Being super light, the airspeeds are super slow and the loads generated are also miniscule.
