RE: Throttle Servo Choices
Kinda funny, you guys apparently spend more time pondering what servo to use for the throttle than I do. But last week I had a funny experience...my SIG Sundancer with FPE 3.2, took off and shortly thereafter couldn't get any throttle response. The servo was a Futaba S 148 (I think), whatever used to come with a Futaba radio.
Anyway, I'm flying the Sundancer, WOT and no response, full tank of gas. Ok, don't beat me up, no kill switch. So a friend who was with me and and I spent twenty something minutes, taking turns, flying for a while, back and forth, until it finally ran out of gas. I have to hand it to that FPE, it never missed a beat. When it finally ran out of gas, glided in and landed at my feet.
The servo was dead... as in DED, dead. I put in a new 148, good to go.
