Makes much more sense to select Sbus capable servos than buy those overpriced Futaba decoders. That's the way to save in cabling also.

David,



I increased my current setting eventually to 2A and it works very nicely so I think 2.6A is more than enough. I don't know what is the max. though. but since you see current cut off...

David,

You need to find encoder value that is just little bit less than the physical movement. IF the gear stops due to current limit the controller will give short back rotating pulse to unload...

David,

Like said, I'm not absolutely sure if the current I'm using is enough for all flying conditions in your setup. It also depends on the mechanical friction of your system. So you need to...

Hi David,

Sorry I missed your questions earlier... When the movement stops due to current restriction gears will be "de-pressured" by flicking motor to reverse direction quickly thus the short...

It seems to me that if you had air brakes now in use it's better to stick with those really. Like Carsten wrote the electric brakes are not long lasting (I have heard also other similar...
