Should I put Futaba S9650 Servos on a glow pattern plane?

Thanks for the help,
Or

Hello I think 9650 servo is not a good option for a pattern plane , I am sure that 9402 is going to be safer to your plane.

Depends on where you are running them. I am running 2 of them on the elevators of my new airplanes. They are more than capable of running an elevator half. I know some of the guys flying bipes are even running them on the ailerons. I wouldn't run them on ailerons of a monoplane.

There fine on elevator halves for a F3A model 2x2.

I have been using them for years.

I'm using them too on my Electric Lazulite elevator halves.
Did you notice any gear gap on them? Have you replaced at any time the gear set?

I am curious if anyone use the 9650 on a glow plane, i am asking this because a glow motor generates a lot of vibration

Thanks,

The 9650's are perfect for split elevators and throttle applications in a glow plane.

i have used them on a silhouette 2 powerd by YS160 DZ...cant get much more vibes than that!!!

i will also be using on my newest Silhouette 4.

You'll have no trouble running them no matter what power source you are using...

In my oppinion, best choice for dual elevators.

I'm using them too in the stab, engine is an OS 140 RX with MK soft mount. No problems at all.

You may want to pay attention to the control linkages, I think they are very important to get consistent surface response. The more the mechanical advantage, the less the stress to the servo - and more precise and solid surfaces!

Is the free play around the centre normal for these servos? For the price they should be much tighter. Do they cause any problems in your split elevator applications?

Colin

Actually they have some free play, I like you expected a tighter servo, considering its price.

I don't have experience with other setups, but they are ok I think.

Many top pilots use them, so I guess they are good

Any comparison with JR mini's, regarding gear train?
