RE: multiple throttle servo failures

Yep...believe it or not I used an amp meter between the throttle servo and receiver to make sure it wasn't pulling any current when installing the servo. I also made sure it didn't buzz like it was...

RE: multiple throttle servo failures

I took apart the two broken servos and the gears look fine in both. I think that the motor or circuit board must have failed. I measured the voltage to the throttle servo to be exactly 6.00 volts. I...

RE: multiple throttle servo failures

I use ball links on the servo arm and carb arm. They're nylon except for the metal ball bearing. The control rod between is metal, not nylon. Here a some pix of the setup.

RE: multiple throttle servo failures

Thanks for the help. I will post some pictures as soon as I get that big cowl off. I do use a smart-fly optical kill and it's a lot faster than having to wait for my throttle trim to completely close...

multiple throttle servo failures

I have had two throttle servos fail on my 50cc Extra 260 (luckily they both happened on the ground). The first was a Hitec MG5245 servo. It was digital, had metal gears, and was a mini size servo. It...

RE: throttle adjustment problem

I took the cowl off again and tried tuning the engine. I ended up making it an eighth of a turn richer. Flying it today, it seemed like it did lose some power from richening it, but the throttle...

RE: throttle adjustment problem

I got the linkage adjusted and it's a lot closer, H: 58% L: 70%. There's no sub trim. I could see that the carb opens way smoother. My throttle stick lines up when the carb is all the way open and...

RE: throttle adjustment problem

I recently assembled an Aeroworks Extra 260 50cc and put a DLE 55 in it. The plane has about eight flights on it and the engine has about one and a half gallons of gas through it.

RE: 50cc extra 260 engine cg help

Thanks, but I'm trying to figure out whether to use the heavy standoffs or lighter ones. I don't want to add too much extra weight. Anybody with a DLE 55 on their Aeroworks Extra 260?

RE: bantam bc6 balancing A123's?

Thanks very much. I figured out I can't plug two separate batteries into two separate ports on my receiver. I will use a SmartFly battery share. I'll get 2 2300mah batteries or a 2300 and an 1100.

Thanks for replying, I will charge each pack separately. Also, in your setup, does that mean you could pull twice as much amps while you are flying? A normal servo connector can withstand about 2-3...
