i was thinking of getting the 74, but i may have to wait for that 78 extra too

My Feedback: (29)

do you guys think 5985's are enough for ele and ail? i have them on my 33% and havent noticed any issues, i think tbm says they used them on a 40% ele and had no problems, i just love the speed and percision, plus the $$ difference to get 5955's times 6(ele&ail) would be enough to get my battery packs, i understand the rudder needing alot of torque during knife edges and such, but my thinking is the ele arent at alot of throw during high speed moves, the only time i use alot of ele is harriers, elevators, spins, things like that, not a whole lot of wind speed at that time, just wondering what your guys thoughts are, i will get 5955's if you all say so, id like to hear what could cause the 85's to not be enough though just for curiosity

I used them om my 35% yak no problems, just use 2 5955 on the rudder. Never had an issue.

You should be fine as far as torque. The real advantage to the 5955's on the elevators is the titanium gears. The 5955's will last for as long as the plane. The 5985's will wear after awhile.

So what you try to say is 5955 last long time.....
One 8711 on the rudder will do fine. That way you could cut out the price of one servo.

yeh i thought i read that about 1 8711 for the rudder, thats on my 33% also, i like that set up, what about the wings? since there is 2 each they should be okay on that right?, ....plus i wonder how long it will actually take to wear out the gears, i do have a 5955 on my rudder on the 88yak and i like it, but i love the 5985s on the ele and ailerons on that plane too, i cant really see the difference in speed, supposed to be .13 and .15 for the 5955, the only time i noticed speed was when i originaly had 5645's on the ailerons and 5985's on the elevator, the ailerons were like in slow motion, it was rediculous, i suppose i could use 5955 on ele and 5985's on ailerons and still have a $$ savings for a battery or 2, see what anybody else has to say, thanks

Diamondave, I have 5945s on ailerons, 5955tgs on elevator, & one JR 8711 on rudder. It's a great setup.

Since they use 2 servos per aileron you can get away with something a little cheaper then the 5955s,correct? Actually by the time Im ready,there wont be anymore 5955s. Have to step up to the 7955s?

i havent looked into the 5945's, they arent like the old 5645's are they? i am leaning towards the 5985's now since we all seem to think there is plenty of torque, i am tossed about the ele at the moment, but kinda thinking 85's on there also, and the 1 8711 for the rudder

Dave I recommend you stay away from any used 5945's. The weak spot on the 45's is the servo pot. When they updated the 5945's to the 5985 they supposedly addressed that issue. We have worn out 3 of th 45's on 50cc yaks (aileron) at the club and they caused minor flutter at low power and mid to low airspeed. Even if you get the 45's new you might expect them to eventually become worn. Beyond that they are an awesome strong and fast servo and I am still using the onces already on planes with a watchful eye.

k, thanks, i think i will stick with the 85's then, so far they have been great to me on my 88yak(ele and recently ail) and the ele of my sdyak, i had a 5955 give me centering issues so far but not the 85's, sounds like a plan, or should i ask a few more times, haha gotcha guys, ne-ner-ne-ner

torqmeister

I think you need the power of the 5955 on the elevator. Don't go with the 5945 there. My .o2.

torqmeister

DD, do you have a Hitec digital servo programmer? If you use one, you won't have a centering problem with the hitec servos.

I agree 110%-If you are stepping up to this size plane you really don't want to be skimping on your servos IMO.

i was thinking of the 5985's not the 5945's, i havent looked up the specs, are the 85's enough on the elevator? or should i get 55's for the ele and 85's for the ailerons
i dont have a programmer my buddy lent one to me to do my sd yak, was the 1st time with multiple ail, i was thinking of buying one myself this time, but he will lend it again if i want to be cheap still.
i had a problem with my 5955 on my rudder on my 88yak, not even a year old and it started "jiggling" at center, even after a few flights so i dont think it was high voltage, i could just touch it and it would stop, after some sugestions on that yak thread, i simply moved my trim 2 clicks(4 on the radio cause i lowered it from 4 to 2, if that makes sense), anyway it went away, i can snap it back, play with it all i want and it wont do it now, and it wasnt even enough movement for me to redo my wires, barley moved the rudder with the trim, so i think its good to go, someone said something about the pot? or pod? i dont know, i guess eventually i will need to do something with it like send it in, but it works just fine now that its moved, anyway i dont have any bad feelings towards the 55's, i like them and the 85's
so whats the final verdict for the ele? 5955's or 5985's? sounds like 85's on the wings

drewbags

I think you could get away with 5985s on the tail, but personally I would stick with the 5955s. They are big control surfaces and even with a smooth engine there is still quite a lot of vibration at that end of the plane, so I think the Titanium gears will last you longer. Not sure what the price difference is probably $20 per servo, but worth the extra IMHO. Not sure 5985/5955s will be available so go for the 7985/7955s.

thanks, i was wondering about that 7500 thing now, guess thats the way to go, updated, i will get 55's for the ele, and the 85's for the ailerons, 8711 for the rudder, we are getting a game plan now

i was curious about battery for ignition, on my 60 i have a 1650 6v metlhydryd, on my 80 i got a 2000mah only cause i got some from tower and hydomax doesnt make a 1650 anymore, my buddy says thats overkill, but it doenst way that much more than a 1650, so anyway, this will be my 1st twin, does it use the same amount of battery?, seems i am getting around 200-300 mah per flight on both my single engines, that sound about right? will a twin be any different?

I have a Kroma100 twin. Am using the A 123 racing battery, 6.6V. Am using 140 mah/flight.

Hey, looks good. I'm just finishing up the one I'll be flying at the RDRC Fly For Tots. It basically looks just like the one I lost a couple months back, same setup also. Can't wait to get it in the air.

thanks, my buddy who flies big twins said to get at least a 1700 or so, so that sounds good 1700-2000 should be plenty for the day, i do bring a charger with me anyway, but getting 5 flights or so safely without charging is a good deal

Thanks Lee. Still trying to get the throttle curve dialed in. Getting closer though.
I just got to get a little braver with this plane. Something about a big plane 10 feet from the ground still seems to rattle me.
