Cyclic servos

[jimmitch]

Hi I'm new to helis. I have a synergy n9 and 2 outrage bl-9080 servos.My question is can I use other servos or must they all be the same?.It seams the now make a 9180 would this be ok?Thanks Jim

all three have to be the same - the ccpm requires all servos to work in sync to achieve the right results using a mixed setup will not work i'm afraid unless by some chance you have a third that is identical in spec to the others but I wouldn't advise it.

Welcome to the forum. The N9 is a cracking heli they fly on rails and will give you loads of fun..

As Stuart says, they need to be identical. Ideally, they should be bought at the same time so they come from the same batch. That way, they will all work the at same speed and travel.

You can do, but the flight qualities will not be great at all, also you chance a higher risk of failure as others may be under more stress. I wouldn't do it on anything larger than a 450 and even still with the fast shops you can get a new servo on your door step the next day .

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks i had a feeling this would be a problem.I'm hoping buying the same servo will be ok.If one servo dies do you guys buy a whole new set?

Nah, just replace it with the same model . Or send it back to be repaired if possible.

Servos these days of the same model/specs are pretty well matched no matter when you buy them.

Thats good Thanks. I can't wait to fly this N9
