[NSRCA-discussion] Servos suggestions for a 90 size pattern plane

Why not balance the control surfaces in high vibration applications?

High vibration levels will require more power to compensate.  Yes, more torque will be required in strong vibration environment.  It is like you have an unbalance prop.  The power output is less since some is been use by the vibration.  It is difficult to explain but for sure is there.  Another example is the effect of the soft mounts.  It is well know that large gasoline planes required several servos per surface to compensate the additional vibration.  If we use soft mount (I do in 100 cc planes) in those large planes we can reduce the number or servos per surface.  Currently I am using one servo in 100 cc plane with soft mount.  I have seen the same plane with 3 servos without the soft mount.

Are you confusing torque and current drain? The additional current drain is probably due to more corrections due to vibration. The torque requirements shouldn’t differ and therefore the required size of the servo should be the same – or am I missing something?

Mike,
 
I agree.  I am flying the same plane electric and glow (Abbra).  The electric uses around 50-60 mah and the glow 150-200 mah per each Master round.  This is about 1/3 of the power.  For sure, electric planes can use smaller servos.

 Tommy I worried about the 3421's until I looked at the size servo's that QQ was running on his Euphoria. He runs dual ailerons on 1 small servo. I'm running 3421 metals on my ailerons on my new Sickle so far so good. It was because of weight and also because I really think an E. plane can get away with less servo. I run it on a 6volt regulated 2 cell lipo. I think everyone is in to the security that overkill allows and that's great if your not worried about the weight. Mike
