RE: convert this!
Managed a nice hour of playtime this weekend. Four drops got into my homebuilt WTC, for all that runtime ! (okay, really I think 10 or 20 minutes was actual in-the-water time). Wet servos running rudder and planes have been longer-lived than I'd expected, although a rudder servo retired once with no warning.
Not to brag, though--I found out it had probably been time to charge my transmitter battery; once again, I was having almost to touch the antennas of transmitter and sub to inspire the boat to complete its submergence. I'm not sure charging will cure its ills because the culprit might be my wiring patch to the antenna, and I hadn't retested after patching. But I'll know when it's all charged [&:] (9v transmitter, 6AAs for the sub)
Also in the not-bragging category--I'd always known my dive-plane servo had had a bad connection under all the silicone, so I picked this weekend to improve it. The result is a solid connection, but some latex I added as sealant may be causing extra resistance somewhere to turning. Man, I hope it's in a better mood after its 2AAs are recharged...if not, that's OK I know it responds when I rotate in the 4AA clip.
