Default RE: Help needed for line of servo's


ORIGINAL: aeajr

I can't judge them in metric units. I find it interesting that you would use the 3.6 gram servo in a 3M glider. May I ask what surfaces were controlled by such a small servo and what plane they were in? Was this an e-glider, slope glider or a thermal glider. I might use that servo in a hand launched glider but not in a 3M glider. Even if it has enough torque to move the surfaces, I would be concerned about the ability of the gears to take the stress.

Interested in your application.
can't remember the name, but it's very lightweight glider. The 3.6 seems to work well, as my flying is fairly gentle. I did not fly with hard turns, etc. which may warrant the higher gramm weight unit. If I can find my digital camera, I'll post a pic or two!
