Default RE: Fire in the sky

JR 8711's for ailerons, flaps, rudder.....JR 9411 for Nose Gear steering.......JR 351's for retract valve and door valves......JR 821 on the UP-6 brake valve......

I use digitals on flaps the last couple of years.....just be careful setting them up with an ammeter to be sure they are not stalled when fully up or down....

Right now I have it set up using the plastic HD servo arms that come with the 8711's, but I may switch to SWB metal arms with ball joints.......Using a 300 oz servo with metal output splines and plastic arms seems a bit risky....

When the rudder fluttered big time on my UltraBandit last year, all the servo arms stripped out, not just the rudder ->R.I.P UB.....[] so I am a little paranoid.....
