RE: 1/2A trainer anyone?
Well I went "mental" at the LHS today..I got the RIGHT stuff BABY..I can see side by side the penalties ,that would have accompanied the larger equipment ,I was going to use..You can see it, on just the servos.. 4 micros are nearly the size of, 1 standard size servo.I haven`t done the math, but it`s a large weight savings..I`m a little upset that ,I buy a 4 channel radio "SYSTEM",and they only give you 2 micro servos in that "system".That kind of math doesn`t work for me..HOW many servos do you get if you buy a 2 channel system?? 1, or none..The other peeve I`ve got, is, with the reciever.I know what they are doing ,with the pin connections on the receiver is fine for the larger scale planes..It`s like the engineers forgot what they were designing this receiver for..What dosn`t make sense is that this is micro stuff,4 channel s but only 4 pin sets. Channel 4, is also the battery port.Again thats fine for the larger stuff but to do a 4 channel hook up, you have to buy a Y harness, and "T" the servo in, with the battery.So,right away you are adding weight, just so you can use, all the channels. .Wouldn`t it make more sense to just have a seperate battery port,instead of forcing a person who is obviously going to use a system like this ,for its weight savings?THIS could have been designed onto the p.c. board very easily....
Bipe would you like to make up a drawing, for a servo tray, for the TRAINER .Or would you like me to come up, with something and then scan it before I put this together.I haven`t been doing much work on this, the last few days ,but I will,tommorrow again..
1 other thing ihave 2 Futaba s3101 ,and,2 Hitec HS-81 .Do you have a recommendation of which servos`, where??...DAVE B.
