Skymaster 2M Advice ?
i'm getting ready to order some elevator servos and i want some advice on elevator servos. i'm thinking about getting some jr 9411's for the elevators . i want to run them at 6.0 volts . the torque rating is 92 oz. at 7.2 volts . i was looking at 8411's but they weigh 1 oz. more per servo which means that it's an extra 3 oz. if i count the rudder in the tail. so... what's your thoughts on 9411's ? WB_1 BTW , i'm using a jetcat p140 turned down .

I usually do the wide open throttle on the verticals as it is nearly unlimited. I have run it flat out on the level and of course it is fast, but you have to remember there is a fine line and if you cross it bad things will happen. As my flying buddy says you have to be a participate not an observer on the left stick. I would not turn it down as I tried it for a few flight once and the plane did not come off the ground as easily. I had it turn down to 90% RPM's

I run the stock pipe so far with no problems. You may have to tinker with the acceleration parameters as on hot days mine would not go above 50% power. I originally had an old Jetcat 120 in it and it was even worse. On skymadter's website they do show customer pics of the plane with 140's in them do it tells me they are endorsing that power. On a side note I brlieve you are the man I sold a gray ziroli zero to about 10 years back

I used the JR DS 3421's but I think they are discontinued , also have a jetcat P100 that will soon be replaced with a kingtech 120 for better grass operations

guys, keep in mind we have a beautifully flying site at the perry/warsaw,ny airport. we have a low key event every year ans all is welcome. we have a lot of RV room . date for 2017 is not set yet but you can look us up on Facebook . https://www.facebook.com/groups/1145124272214127/ we are a small club we a huge flying area lol keep in mind that we coexist with a sky diving club and they are not an issue . perry,ny is located south of rochester by abut 35 miles 10 miles off i-390

that far back can be a real disadvantage. i'm not even putting a cockpit in just a platform and a bust . i'm trying to keep the weight way down

They have servos for cars and for planes, but I think the only difference is the water seals.

well i opted to go with and ordered the JR xbus NX3421's and a NX8935 on the rudder . All three are xbus and i'll be able to use the powered xbus cable to insure no voltage drop seeing's how they are over 4' from the receiver. i'll use 4811HV 's on the ailerons and i'd like to find two analog HV s for the flaps .The NX3421's pack 91 oz. at 7.4 . that's a big difference compared to 66 oz. servo with plastic gears they said to use at first. i thought the 8411's were way overkill as far as torque not to mention they were a lot of work squeezing them in the stabs . Anyone running xbus? i have combed the net for two days looking for setup info on the servo load alarm system in the xbus menu . WB_1[h=1][/h]

Just read in on this thread. In reference to your full throttle/high speed stuff, keep in mind that it does tell you in the instruction manual not to exceed 180mph.. I'm not a speed nut either, I have a Cheetah Sp in mine ( 32lbs ) and I do not ever go wide open except on some vertical stuff for a short burst.. Awesome airplane and it's slick too. Speed will go up fast if you don't watch it. All that being said, I have seen some guy's fly the crap out of them and I have never seen one fail, but that's not for me...
Have fun !!

I have regular 3421 digitals on the elevators on mine with a P120SX and everything is fine, the Sbus versions should be even better. On mine the rudder had to be set about 1/4" from the fin in order to get enough throw which caused quite a bit of movement at the hinges so I added 1/4 aircraft ply spacers around the hinges, they're now rock solid.
