  • Which servo

    Hi Folks

    I am about to buy the servos for my Raptor 30 and I would appreciate it if people could give me their thoughts on the following options. The thing is I am a complete beginner and i have just bought a Futaba GY401 gyro

    Option 1 - 5 x Futaba S3152 100
    Option 2 - 1 x Futaba S9254 & 4 xS3001 100

    As you can probably tell I have exactly 100 for the five servos.

    Thanks in advance
    Jim

    Hi Jim
    Option 1 - with the S3152's would seem to be an ecomonic solution -- these servos can be used anyware on the Heli -- and later as the budget opens up again get a better servo for the tail.

    If you can get 5 x s3152 for 20 each your doing well!!
    Dave :lol:
    If it's not fun, your not doing it right !!

      Cheers Dave

      Inwood models do the servos for 20 each if you are buying 4 or more at a time.

        the 9254 is a must, makes life much nicer

        if you can stretch to a 3152 for the collective and 3001 for cyclic/throttle its worth doing. Even on 30s the loading ont he collective servo is quite high and makes a noticeable difference to accuracy.

        so thats,

        1x 9254 for tail
        1x 3152 for collective
        3x 3001 for elevator/aileron/throttle
        budgets are meant to be stretched :-)
