Multiplex Slimstar Servos

Thread Starter

Hi Guys,
I have just recieved some new Mulitplex wing servos destined for the rudders on my Skymaster F-18. There is very little room in the fins for servos of any kind but these are just the ticket. They are digital of course, 10mm thick and only about 25mm wide. In the picture you are looking straight down on the servo arm and the unique thing is that the arm is supported by a ballrace on both sides, lever or what?[8D]
The servo lead is usually a real pain to tuck out of the way, but with this servo the lead plugs in to he base of the servo. As you will see there is a case for the servo to clip into. The white plastic bar and two screws secures it in position.
In the second picture you can see that the fit in the fin is pretty good. I will extend the cut out upwards and if possible glue that portion to the current hatch. There is NO slop!
This is remarkable for a metal geared servo and its quick too.
OK I won't be fitting this to the tailerons, It's not the most powerful thing in the world but for this application and for smaller jets I can see this servo being a Godsend.
Regards,
John

Heres the second picture. Sorry for the first one. I have no idea what went wrong or how to delete it so just ignore it.
