Magnum with no throttle servo
is anyone flying the magnum without throttle servo to save weight. just wondering as i noticed that on the 50v1 the throttle is held open by spring. and the idea is to go flat out anyway so who needs it ??????

specs on hitek HS-81:
Motor Type 3 Pole Ferrite
Bearing Type None
Torque 4.8/6.0v 36 / 42 oz. 2.6 / 3.0 kg.
Speed 4.8/6.0v 0.11 / 0.09 second
Size 1.2 x 0.5 x 1.2" 30 x 12 x 30 mm
Weight Nylon 0.58 oz. 16.6 g.
have you ever handlaunched one of these ???
have you considered the possibility that you may have flutter, lose a control surface in flight, servo failure, midair collision.????
would you now like to throttle back instead of going in full bore?
at 3.5 lbs the micro servo will increase your weight by about 1%
the pylon racers running venturi instead of a carb sill have a way of killing the engine...part of the rules.
if you want to make your magnum faster clean up the airframe...
all the blunt trailing edges on the tail are drag city

I used to use a fuel line pinch in the past...
Nelson engines have a venturi, but it looks like a carb... you can close the barrel to stop the engine...

you start a turn rich, it runs like a bag of $*** till you get to the patch, lean it out and throw. i now have a little hook round some tube and it pulls it tight against the fire wall to cut, i've not tried it yet, waiting for a pipe, but i may even be able to sort out a rich setting in air by pinching it slightly
