Topic: D40 order

While im waiting for my D40 to arrive, a couple of questions

Ordered a couple of Logic srvos as you guys recommend but how are you mounting them to the wing? Epoxied straight in or taped up then glued ? Or a different way? How strong are the gears ?

Where are you guys getting your 6v rx packs from?

Cheers guys

Hey dude

I made mine out of AAA Eneloop cells although you can get them in that format from Overlander I believe.

Servos - just glued in with epoxy. Don't overdo it and it will be fine. The gears aren't that strong I guess in such a little servo, but we've seen plenty of less than ideal landings, even cartwheels and so on and not yet seen a stripped gear. I think the gearing of the surface to the servo is really low so it very much limits the torque that the servo sees back through the linkage.

  dont know where youve seen that Zim...

 

i would use hyperion ds09amd if it were me. Metal gears. Programmable digi innit

Yeah they will probably fit, and yes you can buy them from Sloperacer :: Home    but a 9mm servo will leave a little bulge where the 8mm Logix will sit almost flush. 1mm doesn't sound a lot until it's in a D40.

George - not referring to you mate - my first landing with mine on the Bwlch was a bit of a circus act! Not a scratch!

 Tom!!

    You really should have a closer look at a D40 wing.  your not getting those servos inbthere for sure.

i think you boys are confused about the servo i mean.

Anyway just a suggestion.

Nope - got 10 of them here! And 20 of the ones that you think I'm thinking of

We are ALWAYS confused dude...

I also got my share (and Adams too come to think of it) of cartwheel landings.
Smooth ones are SO last yeahaaaaa!

  So what you got the DS09amd servos for then Zim??

Joe:
Referring back a bit, a Microfloh XL is a glass Destiny.

Oh, I see. Thanks!

I have a Destiny 54" = Micro Floh XL with metal gear wing servos fitted. Make me an offer!
