You will find Martin that a lot of people dont bother with a gasket.

I got some long bolts and aerotight nuts you can have FOC. I will post some out for you tomorrow. After all I have no need for them lol

[Mart61]

Cheers Ben - you're a star!

[Jamin_00]

[Mart61]

Yes please.

Build question: One of my LHS has stock of the Savox SH0352 servos. I'm toying with nipping over and buying one to put on my throttle.

Having looked on the servo database, it looks to me that this servo would do the job as well as the S3152 I had planned on fitting. Granted it is a smidgeon bigger tho.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[chugga-bug]

I see no reason why not Martin.

The only thing i would say is dont skimp on your throttle servo,Dannys throttle servo gave out on him last weekend in flight which luckily didnt leave his throttle wide open and he managed to get it down with little fuss.it was a cheap futaba servo.
Not sure on the servo your suggesting but it does seem cheap. it could be up to the job but personally i would go for something a bit better just for peace of mind

Build question: Anyone know what diameter I need for a "bung" to stuff in my Align muffler rubber exhaust guide?

[Jamin_00]

10mm I think, or is it 8mm

Measure it lol

I would but I'm in the office. Not to worry. Was gonna order one up but it'll wait...

Dont get a cheapo servo, Sacko (Paul) has a DS650 going cheap

[sacko]

Sold it mate.

Get a JR8900 or a BLS251

[chugga-bug]

Putting a tail servo on throttle is just not necessary! You'll get no benefit whatsoever.

[sacko]

Doh.. Thought you were after a tail servo.

Actually the DS650 is a cheapo servo. Just look at the prices of the 8900, 9256 and BLS251 for example.

Go with your first thought of a 3152 and you can't go wrong.
