[NSRCA-discussion] 8611 on rudder

[Ed Alt]

Yeah, that's kind of where I think I will stay.  I just have a couple of these 8611's sitting here doing nothing, so I figured I would fish around a little bit.  I haven't had any issues at all with oscillation with the 8411's on any of the 2M bird rudders.  That's generally an issue with one or more of these factors:

- Cables way too tight, or way too loose (usually too tight)
- Rudder too heavy
- Linkage geometry error
- Worn pot
- Too much caffeine

  I prefer the lighter weight, tighter geartrain, and more aggressive center of the 8411sa.  I've not found the added torque of the 8611 necessary.

   

  If oscillation is a problem with the 8411sa, the 8611 may fix this - but the center will not be as aggressive (but it may not be a big enough difference to notice depending on the specific plane and specific linkage system).

  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
