When I tested the Solar servos at 6V I was not impressed with their torque...speed...

    3DHS 84" Bigfoot Build Log

    more progress on Bigfoot...still working on the basics that are familiar to any 3DHS airframe build. No surprises here. Even though the manual suggests to mount the gear and fairings as the first step, I decided to defer installation of the gear and fairings until later in...

    Don't know about this post and the person on FG who made it. I do know that every 3DHS manual that I've read directs you to cross the pull pull cables, so that's what I do. I figure Ben and company know more about this detail than I do, so I will follow their direction.
