Default Bobcat elevator servos

Todd,

If you can deflect that surface flying at 200 mph straight and level it can deflect it in a 200 mph dive. The holding power would apply during the high G manouvers that David G was refering to. Also for what it is worth I have been running the JetCat GPS in my Bobcat for the last 40 flights and have had one flight where it was over about 7 G's. It did hit 9 G's in one flight but I was also snapping the hell out of the airplane and really racking it around, but at lower throttle settings. One flight I tried to pull the airplane as hard as I could to see just how many G's I was pulling and it was still around 7. During that flight I was doing full throttle passes followed by square 90 degree pullups, and full throttle 360 degree high G turns. If you rig the airplane correctly the 3301's are up to the task.
