<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>
