U-CAN-DO 3D, what has your experience been?
Flyfalcons,
I didn't mention it in my last post, but I am using the Dubro Heavy Duty arms, as well. I got GP 4-40 Ball links for the servo ends, and GP 4-40 Solder Links for the horn end. I'm thinking of swapping out the stock control horns, the solder links, or maybe both. Because the space between the 2 arms on the GP solder links is bigger than the thickness of the control horns. This allows it to float a little, and I'm worried that this, coupled with the movement of the ball links, will wear out the hole in the control horn very quickly. I also don't care for the way the plastic control horns nut plate warps up when you tighten the screws. I'm thinking of adding 2 more screws (for a total of 4) if I keep them. If I don't, I'm thinking of maybe using Sulivan 4-40 links & Sulivan steal control horns instead.
The only connections I have set-up right now are the ailerons. I used the last hole in both the control horn (the ones described in the back of the UCD manual for 3D) & the servo arm. Is this how you have your's set-up? I notice with the digital servos that I have to dial out allot of the servo travel to stop it from over-traveling, and I wasn't sure if this was acceptable or not? I've always heard that it is best to use as much of the servos travel as possible. But these Hitec digital servos travel over 180 degrees! So I would have to take out allot anyway. I heard standard servos only have about 80-90 degrees of travel. Anyway, do you have any advice for me concerning setting up these digital servos. I don't know if the same rules apply that apply to standard servos. This is obviously my first time using them.
Thanks for the reply,
Mark
