Default RE: Hangar 9 33% Edge 540 - Part 3

Hi guys,

If you are anxious to see the results, imagine how I must feel.

My BalancePro HD packs are ready but I am not certain if they were shipped to me or they are bringing them to the Toledo show on April 7th.

In the mean time, I have been pressured into changing my rudder servos by my expert 3D pilot, Devin McGrath. He showed me that Quique uses 3 rudder servos on a similar size plane so I relented to upgrading my setup to two rudder servos. The Hangar 9 Edge 540 is already designed to handle a dual push-pull setup (the second servo bay is merely covered up) and the new JR [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPS8611A]DS8611a[/link] digital servo has 320oz/in. torque on 6v (which is my output setting on the Power Force Regulator). The dual rudder servo system will now provide 640oz/in! I also needed to order another JR Matchbox to keep the two rudder servos from fighting each other.

I'll post some photos when I install it.
