[NSRCA-discussion] 4.8 volt Vs 6.0 volt

[Bob Richards]

Farts - plural.   Multiple old farts, each with their own "escapment". :-)

            Escapements? What’s with the plural?

    Ron,

     

    I remember when KPS-14 and KPS-15 were the servos of choice (or PLS-14 and PLS-15 for us Proline fans). Much simpler times.  No need for four digit servo numbers. :-)

     

    My first radio came with KPS-11 servos with the linear output racks. You know, pull-pull setups would be so simple with linear outputs.

    Now I expect all the REALLY old farts to chime in about having to wind up their rubber-band escapements before each flight. (Bill Glaze?? :-)

     

    I suspect the servos he has will be fine if the throws are kept down to the small amount needed for pattern.  However, the control surfaces are probably much larger than anything on pattern planes back in the 60s/70s, so the longer moments will be working harder against the servos.

     

    Bob R.
