[RCSE] Zagi Question

I would not try to learn on a Zagi. A Bowman's Hobbies Super Scooter or Javelin is a much more stable ship to learn on. All I have to say about the joker is "ha ha ha". __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Send Flowers for Valentine's Day http://

[RCSE] twisted servo extention wire source?

I'm looking for a roll of twisted servo wiring (3 or 4 lead) to make some long aileron connections. Anyone know of a good source? Thanks, Patrick RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that subscribe

Re: [RCSE] The 'old' Blue ones... servos that is :-)

> Important to note, the 'gears' > didn't break it was that group of pins. Call it what you want. The part that broke on both in my wing-maxx servos was a tooth on the large gear of the output shaft. I would concider that a gear break. The red servos have the brittle idler shafts. Aside

well I don't know, but I think I have a few questions I have wondered about for a long time: When did Gourdy turn into a God? When did we elect Gourdy moderator? its so easy to contribute nothing of value, unless you are a god, in which case everything you say or every question you pose is of valu

[RCSE] HS 225 "Sudden Death Syndrome"

I recently posted my own experiences with HS 225MG servos. I suffered the failure of four of these servos in the space of a month. The first was a flap servo on my Hera that failed in flight. (This had been in the plane about 2 years.) The other three were on the rudder and elevator of my wife

[RCSE] In all fairness...

I didn't mean to start a pure Hitec bash. They do, in my opinion have a problem that has cost me pretty dearly. But, I have not had a problem with the 85mg servos that I am using in the wings...yet. I guess I just NEVER had a servo go bad and maybe I expect too much. I will be getting some differen

[RCSE] Blonde 225 Servo joke

The first Blonde GUY SERVO joke ... and well worth the wait?? An Irishman, a Mexican and a blonde guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, Another 'HiTec 225 Failed! If I get another 225 failure I'm going to ju

This is a sad turn of events.  I can't find the story from today's news, but the Palestinians are using RC toys as bombers.   Here's an intro to it, written more than a month ago. http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=239   Bet the Israelis have quickly slapped together some "Dial A Crash" dev

Re: [RCSE] Hitec 225 strikes again Lessons/Solutions...

OK, a few questions to direct the conversation a bit. 1. How do we detect defective gear, such as servos, before we trust our expensive toys to them? Would it help to get a servo driver and "burn them in" by cycling them for some set period ?- this will prove the initial durability of the electro

Re: [RCSE] Hitec 225 strikes again

Someone told me that GWS still sells the servo that Cirrus labeled as the CS-21. Personally, I'm not sure I trust them on anything but a slow flying airplane. Pilot Frank wrote: > > I like the Cirrus CS-21BB HP but unfortunately they are discontinued, I > wonder why. They have a lot of power fo

Re: [RCSE] Hitec servos - should I use them ?

It's mainly been about the 225. I have a a whole bunch of Hitec 80'2. 81's and 85's and havent had a problem with them. In fact, I've had some HS-85's in my primary DS plane for 2 years without a problem. The JR servos in that same airplane have got all jittery while the Hitec's remain solid.

RE: [RCSE] Hitec 225 strikes again I WAS LUCKY

I've used HiTech servos for years in lots of airplanes - both powered and sailplanes. I've never had a systemic failure of HS225 or HS85 servos. I would not consider them inferior to a comparable JR or airtronics servo. I did replace two HS85's in an Escape once when I blew out both aileron servo
