<DIV>Yeah, TN sucks. My property taxes are 1/3 they were in NY and I tried but
TN refuses to collect state income tax from me. Weather sucks as I
long for those January and February days of shoveling snow, chipping ice,
mind numbing cold and falling on my butt. I can drive a car around in
my house ( full scale )...... Guaranteed immortality wouldn't get me to move
back. Wait, is that a banjo I hear in the background ??? Ed M.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Never have seen it before, but I
guess the main question I have concerns the potential for loss
of effective torque transmitted to the control surface.
I see that they claim it's better due to no losses. That
would be true in the sense that you don't lose that little bit
in the linkage friction etc., but if you only want, say, 25
degrees of surface throw each direction, it would appear that
you would have to limit the servo travel to 25 degrees as
well. If that's true, then you have less mechanical
advantage for a given degree of movement for the surface,
since you would normally have a servo traveling about doub! le
that distance. The control surface speed would be
quicker, assuming the load is handled without any blowback or
slowdown of movement due to the effectively lower torque
transmitted while moving. Maybe I'm not seeing it right,
but it looks like it might not be such a good thing to use,
unless you were already planning on having something close to
a 1:1 correspondence of degrees of servo arm movement to
degrees of surface travel.</FONT></DIV>
