RCS Servo controllers?
Hey all...I was rummaging thru my old stuff (from the mid 70's) and found 2 RCS Servo Controllers. You plug it into the throttle channel, (or annother I suppose) then the Throttle servo into it. Then you set the "Fail safe" position of the throt. to idle, or wherever you want. It cuts the throttle briefly when you get glitched, and when the batt. starts getting low. Does anybody know if I might still be able to use these if I change the connectors? I used to use them w/ my Kraft systems, and would like to try 'em out again, but I don't know a whole lot about electronics, and I don't want to fry something, ya know?!

RCS Servo controllers?
I'm not familiar with the RCS equipment, but it can't hurt to try. Is it designed for servos with a 1.5ms center? Test it on the ground first by turning off the Tx to simulate a glitch. Ground testing is always a good idea when making changes / repairs to a plane or it's electronics.
