[NSRCA-discussion] 8611 on rudder

[Dave Harmon]

I started using an 8611A after I noticed that the 8411A would go into
oscillation because of the tension on the PP wires.

Supposedly, the center dead band was set too tight for a rudder application
and I believe it was Troy that pointed out the 8611A was the way to go for
this application.

Apparently it has a slightly wider dead band that fixes this problem...more
power too.

Thanks Troy...

I haven't had any more problems..well, with the rudder anyways..

I'm interested in feedback from those who are using the 8611 or 8611A on a
2M rudder.  Is that extra torque as compared to an 8411 class servo really
buying you anything? I'm always reluctant to go to a metal gear servo,
although the 8611 is pretty low on slop as MG servos go.

 

Thanks

Ed
