<DIV>School was closed here in Farragut, Knox county schools today also. I think
the few flurries we had over the weekend and the TV shots of the northeast being
buried caused a "sympathy shutdown" of Knox county schools. :)</DIV>

<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>
