[NSRCA-discussion] Focus 1.5

Randy,

That seems to be a bit of a paltry number from what I'm used to. I've got a
Futaba 9151 on the rudder of my Partner, and a DS8411SA is going on my Focus
II, and all of my future airplanes unless something I like better comes down
the pike. The 9151 is well into the 100oz/in range in torque so you may be
getting blowback. 

I am not sure of what your nomenclature for what type of Focus you have, if
it means you have a Focus I fuse with Focus II wings, but I would most
certainly listen to whatever suggestions Arch may have for setup.

Take care, and good luck!

Ryan
