Default Servo Ext

Just a quick question about servo ext. I noticed it takes two 48" ext for the elevator servos. I can find like 36" ext but no twisted 48" 'ers. How many ext can you join together before you notice a voltage problem? Like if I join two 24" ext together to make the 48" I need, any problems doing this? Before this bird I had a 50cc which didn't require but like 24" ext so not hard to find that length.

I know I can make my own but I don't trust myself to make them. I'll do anything but make my own radio gear!!

Thanks,
Accaptain

Here is a good thread on Servo extensions. It includes a build thread on extensions. Also you can call www.radicalrc.com and they will make custom lengths.

I second Radical R/C. They make great extensions and they are 20G. Check them out.

Accaptain,

I used a 36" and a 12" extension. I am using all Li-ion and the voltage drop is not something that I notice in flight but that's just me. I think all above comments can get you to a one piece 48", this way you don't need to worry about having an extra safety connector in between the extensions either.

Servo Extensions

Hope it helps ya out!!! Extensions are VERY easy to build!!!! Just practice on 1 or 2 before you build one for good!!! It took me about a week to get really good at building extensions.
