Steven Butler Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi. I have been fiddling with the dx8 setting up retracts on a Phoenix mustang. I would like to slow the retract servo and make the landing gear look slower for a more scale feel. I have attempted to slow the servo using the servo allow menu but this simply adds a delay rather than allowing the speed. Is this because I am using a dedicated retract servo ?? A previous reply to a thread suggested that the retract servo doesn't allow travel adjustment through the tx. Thanks againSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelH Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'd very much expect that to be the case. It looks like the on/off nature of the retract servo relies on the servo position signal from the TX getting to either one extreme or the other. With the DX8 servo delay feature, it will take longer for the servo position to reach the end-point and, hence, cause the retract servo to respond. I'd bet money on it.

BALFOUR SKYE Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just finished doing dummy setup for new Seagull PC-9 on DX-8 with HiTec HS75-BB, same outcome, will look for other way to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hickson Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Unfortuately the slow function will only work on a servo, not on a retract which is just end to end. Works ace on flaps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
