Sheepish

I have had this on a mode swap on Spektrum DX6i some time ago. It was interesting to sort out and I can remember having an interesting first flight before I realised the trims weren’t quite normal 😂 As Jon says the mechanical swap is one thing the software is another. On OpenTx it’s is also possible to allocate which ever trim you wish to which ever channel too and I guess it’s the same on other systems.🤔

Hi John sometimes it’s just not worth the cost. This company sometimes have rarer spares too if it’s worth the effort: http://www.mecoa.com/

Don’t know if you’ve seen this on eBay? Look like they have the other parts too but it is in Italy. 2E33 - ENYA 90-4C -- Distribution gear shaft - code 904C81

I had a Howard Metcalfe Models TA152H hand launch fighter with an OS15FP and it was my favourite for ages. It came with a plastic fuselage and blue foam wing cores that needed to be glass cloth covered as the design didn’t use veneer. It flew better than the Cambria equivalents and was much lighter. Still no idea why I parted with it and really wish I could find another… Doh!

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have found a few small glands for round wires with online searches but almost nothing for flat wires. A bit strange I think? I have have a 3d printer but I’ve never tried to print anything other than PLA but it’s worth a try with PLA+ I guess and I need to improve my 3D CAD too. I will try a message to Mike at Model Workshop to see if he can suggest a source perhaps.

Thanks EarlyBird, that’s the one. And thanks for the strain relief boot suggestion I’ll try a search for those too. John, I need a few of these and I wouldn’t want to have you dismantling so many servos on account of my OCD 😂 I have tried the hot glue, silicon, heat shrink, other tubing solutions and they don’t satisfy my desire to replace the perished boot. After all if the Chinese can make fake servos with these boots in there must be a source somewhere for new ones. Even if it’s a case of having to order a 100 or more to do it from Banggood or Alibaba perhaps. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would use them if they were available.

Hi John, I have done this in the past but my OCD tells me I would like a new grommet. 🤔 These are on the bay of e at the moment from the USA but are a silly price for 2 off with an even sillier postage cost so proof they do or did exist.

I have a number of older Futaba and JR servos which are little used and in good condition apart from the fact that the cable entry grommet has perished. Is there a source of these out there that anyone has found that they would share? I have looked online in places like Farnell, RS Components, Model Fixings, The Component Shop, Micron RC and the bay of e but no luck so far but perhaps I’m searching for the wrong thing or have missed the obvious supplier. The fall back solution is a blob of hot glue or silicon sealant but it’s not very elegant and replacing the grommet would be a better solution.

Does anyone have a copy of the Flair Attila plans they would part with please? Happy to pay any copy and postage costs. I’ve tried Model Plans but no answer to my messages.

That 109 looks really good Colin, I’ve always fancied one of these and those pictures could well make me buy a kit. Another plane to build to add to the list….
