I'm running a JR 791 Hi-Torque Analog Retract Servo with a Futaba 10C TX; is there a way to slow this Servo Down with my Radio, does a Servo Slow Function exist? I have the retract servo on Channel 5.

Thanks.

I have these servos. They are not Proportional so you cannot slow them down using the programming in the transmitter.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking that was going to be the case.

Check out the electric servoless retracts at Hobby King (Hobbyking.com). They have several sizes and types and they're inexpensive (CHEAP!!!). They're easy to install and they retract slowly like realistic hydralic retracts. They're much easier than the mechanical or pneumatic retracts.

+1,
Electric retracts have been available for some time from E-Flight, now Robart is coming out with them[8D]
There are many advantages to these electric retracts. One big one being that since they have a much higher gear ratio (slow is nice!), they also draw less peak current than the typical servo operated ones.

Spektrum has a proportional retract servo that just came out. You can slow it down.

So if I get one of these Spektrum Proportional Retract Servos, can I slow it down with my Futaba 10C radio?

I dont knowif the 10C has the servo slow fuction on any channel except the throttle check your Futaba manual. As far as I know the Hitec programmer will only
work on Hitec programable servos.

The Hitec Programmer will work on Digital Servos only, that Spektrum Proportional Servo I mentioned is Analog; and you are correct, I finally read the manual to my 10C and Servo-Slow only works on the Throttle Channel, there is a way to assign the Throttle to another channel, I have to tinker around a little bit to see if it's worth it; does any one know of a module or something that you can hook up between the Receiver and the Retract Servo that slows it down?

The hitec programmer will only work on hitec ditigal servos no other brands. Tower hobbies carries a goslow module from EMS. RCDUDE has a small inline module.

Sorry I don't have a link for you since I really haven't paid much attention to such threads, but IIRC there is such a device. Suggest you wander over to the Warbird forum for additional input?

Here's the link to the ESM GoSlow.

It will slow down any proportional servo, but not a 2 position dedicated retract servo.

You can modify a standard servo to rotate 180 degrees by adding some resistors into the circuit.

I ended using this method to modify a cheap chinese TowerPro 995 servo to run the retracts on my H9 Hellcat, then slowed down the servo with a 12FG transmitter. The ESM GoSlow would work for your 10C.
