standard size servo mounts

[chris edwards 3]

hi

i will be soon be receving a webra speed 40 engine and am thinking i might build the super slinky plane features in the mag a coulpe of months ago, but was wondering where can i get standard size servo mounts to put in the wing, i can find mounts for mini servos but carnt seem to find standard size ones anywhere. do they exist or do i need to make them?

Super Slinky with a 40 in it should be interesting....I think AW designed it arounf the OS25....

Using mini servos would add up to a useful weight saving in what is a fairly small model IMHO...

i think the mini servos might help to reduce the overall weight of the model i have found these servos would these do the job or would you recomend anything better?

I've got several of the TowerPro MG16Rs which have proved pretty good though they are a couple of pounds more than the E-Powers.

Hi Chris

I have just changed the old OS 25 in my Slinky to an SC 32. Goes very nicely now but I have had to add weight to the tail for a COG approx 70 mm back from the leading edge. Servos are 22.5g for elevator and rudder, 9g for throttle and 16g x 2 for aileron. AUW is still a shade under 3lb.

Hi Chris, wouldnt risk cheap servos in any plane they miht be OK, but just one falure can lead to a disaster of potentially huge proportions, and a wrecked model

for the ailerons would 16/17g servoes be ok or would standard size be better?

Chris

These are the servos I used for the ailerons in my Slinky, as powerful as many standard size. I have used them in several models and not had a problem so far.

thanks for the info worden, i was thinking about these for the ailerons and these for the elevator, rudder and throttle. should these do the job?

I have used the 380 in its Bluebird form and they seem pretty good. No experience of the HXT I'm afraid. I used these for elevator and rudder, more expensive but they are one of the nicest servos I have tried. Only limited use so far but if they do hold up I shall certainly use more.
