Which servo

[brashhighlander]

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!!

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 :-)
