servo selections

[Del K. Rykert]

How was it decided what size rag to use? To big and could cause damage to plane. To small and not enough mass to get to prop as it is flying along.

  And Steve's pretty fast too, at least in the sprint. He went from zero to YS140L on high idle landing approach speed in about 1.5 seconds . . . . . .

    Smart Alec....Hmmmm....I'm thinking it was around 30 minutes of trying to ride thermals with a 2m plane...and then forcing a  hot landing on a small field surrounded on 4 sides by a ditch.

    Fyi, for anyone that has this problem...I highly recommend Steve for running along side of your too fast to land throttle-less airplane with a large rag to throw in the prop as it touches the ground to stop it before it runs into things....He's got experience...LOL.

     Mark how long can you fly when your linkage comes off at to high a throttle setting to land but not enough to really use much fuel?  LOL
