Extra 260 H9 27% servo issues
 

has anyone used the JR DS 8231 servo for the ailerons and elevators on the extra 260 27% before.

when i finished the build on this plane, i used the exact recommendations from the H9 instruciton manual. i used the JR 8231 (4 total) for the ailerons and elevators. i used the 8411 for the rudder, and standard servo for throttle.

when i took off, i had all settings on low rates.


this was my maiden flight this past sunday.

let me know what you think.

wind was from south at 9 to 10 MPH.

surprisingly that servo is listed in the manual and no mention of metal gears for a gasser..quite misleading for someone newer to the hobby.
Get MG gears, analog or digital

HH is going to replace the two servos with ones that have metal gears.
also, the landing gear, the tail wheel, and the muffler for the evolution 50 cc.
they will not replace the prop or the wheel pants.

Horizon Hobby?

yes

That was a nice gesture, its hard to get coverage in most cases.

Anyway, good luck, re harden the servo mounts and seal the gaps and slow down a bit ;)
