I am in the process of setting up a Beryll EP and would like some thoughts on which servo's people are using.
My current plans are: JR DS8411 on ailerons and rudder and JR DS3401 on elevator.
This is the configuration of my current IC model and it seems to work well. Using the stronger servo's on ailerons seems to work better, but what are people's thoughts.
My concern with using these servos is that they may use a fair bit more current than the 40ma per flight people are reporting. My hope is to run 2 x 300ma LiPo's with a Powerbox Sensor regulator/switch.
Also, these are all metal gear servos, so there is a bit of extra weight there as well.
Any thoughts.
Glenn,
I am using JR9411SA's on ailerons, JR 3421SA's on elevators, and a JR 9411SA on rudder. I draw the typical 40 to 50ma on these servos. I just run a 910ma 2S TP Prolite Lipo on a voltage regulator for the flight pack. I am using the Duralite(Flightpower) F3A matched 5350ma packs which weigh in at roughly 21 oz. each with connectors. My packs are all the way up against the back edge of the battery tray. I am using a C50 13XL on a 20.5 X 14.
2/4/08 - CORRECTION, I MEANT 8411SA ON RUDDER.
