90 size 8v FBL Amp draw..

[sacko]

Has anyone got any figures of the average andpeak amps that the servos draw on a 90 size 8v FBL machine?

Just out of curiosity more than anything.

..how long is a bit of string? <s>

I did find a stidy of servo current draw on the web once..bigest draws as you'ld expect are stalled servos and sudden changes in direction of servos....with variations of as much as 2A for some. Oddly not necessarily as related to size of servo as you'ld expect.

That was using 5 and 6 v and an old study so one could reasonable assume lower current on higher volts..but then again higher current for modern servos and fbl straight to swash stuff..

So take 3 cyclic servos swapping direction at (say) 1.5A + the rest of the stuff and a hardworking tail... safe assumption is in the 7A plus range.......??

I run 4x BLS451's and 1x outrage BL9088 at 8v's on vbar on my nitro aurora, After a 8 minute or so flight I put about 350mh back into my receiver pack. Not sure about peak amps and all that...
