unrelated to flying, but, i'd rather not start a new thread..
is there any reason that i should not use a micro servo for the throttle on this airplane? if there isn't a good reason, i am going to, for weight savings.
An excellent idea, and isn't done more often just because they are more expensive than standard servos.
The same questions arise as with any other use of a servo. Is the torque and speed available from the choice of servo enough to carry out the job? Throttles don't need a lot of force to actuate.
