The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Tonight I got control horns on the 2nd wing panel on the Pilot Edge glued in place and set the linkages up on the first wing. It can be a bit of a challenge getting both servos to be perfectly synced with each other but I wound up with about 45 degrees of throw in each direction and both...- Xpress

Printed out a protractor and cut a hole exactly where the output shaft needs to go dead nuts on the center of the protractor, this should help dial in my servo throws :)- Xpress

Well that's one panel nearly completed, just need to match the servos and bolt the linkages in place. Still waiting for the glue to dry tonight on the control horns otherwise I would have finished it. The 2nd panel is almost done, just need to glue control horns in and setup linkages. What...- Xpress

Rob have you ever had a problem with the Tygon chaffing where it passes through the plywood? I'm always paranoid about that and always install these rubber grommets... :omg:- Xpress

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Tonight I worked on getting my elevator servos synced on my 91" Aerobeez Slick. They're 95% synced, I think one of the stabs is warped though, either from dragging them on the ground :epic: or from leaving them in the car for a couple of days in the high of the desert summer... Either way...- Xpress

Can't speak for Savox, but on our digital servos you cannot reverse the servo direction by swapping motor/pot wires, only on Analog servos @AKNick- Xpress

I could but the video would be a little bit lengthy. The programmer is honestly not that difficult to use, and it's easy to see what you can do when you have one in front of you. It won't tell you degrees of movement in the servo because that would require feedback information from the servo...- Xpress

I think this should be sufficient control throw :) 2 perfectly matched HSB-9380TH servos using the Hitec HFP-30 programmer- the sync function on the programmer made this job very easy, the servos are extremely linear in their travel!!- Xpress

Worked on the Edge some more today. Got an Extreme Flight 100cc tailwheel to try out, EF Xccessory 2" arms, extensions, and a 34oz tank. Also glued in the elevator horns and bolted on the linkages. I have a pack of DuBro green ball links around here somewhere that I am going to use instead of...- Xpress

Yep it flies again!! It flies even better than before too, with the new motor box and batteries pushed all the way against the first former the CG was dead nuts, flies perfectly level upright and needs a touch of down for inverted- perfect. Only managed 2 flights today on the set needle...- Xpress
