FUTABA Does Aircraft 2.4 GHz !!!

[tkilwein]

I can say the 14MZ with HS5955TG's are FAST!!
I had a 9ZHPS with syn RX and same servos and I thought that was fast.
WHen I changed TX and RX to the 14MZ the servos definatly moved much faster.

FUTABA has to come out with Programmable Servo's, brushless is a step in the right direction, but once you have programed servo's and eliminated match box's, there's no going back. I'm all Futaba, except servo's, they're way behind in the digital arena I think.

Ward,
Im new here, but I agree with you. my last setup was more time consuming, but the reward was amazing. It was 5955s and the programmer on a 1/3 scale.

I have the 14MZ and no matchboxes or programmers. 36%Katana, 2 per flap and they are matched by the 14MZ tx. Very fast to adjust with the 14MZ setup.
The 5955TG's are smoking fast on the new setup. The beauty of the 14mz is the
grouping of the channels on how they send them out verses the delays of some of the other setups. On a o-scope you can see and measure the differences. I can not tell by my flying skills but I can measure it.

What is the advantage of the brushless servos over coreless servos?

From post #1 in this thread:

Other news is there are three new BRUSHLESS servos coming as well. Here is the scoop on them:


BLS451 has a torque of 139 oz-in and speed of .11 @ 6V
BLS351 has a torque of 194 oz-in with a speed of .13 @ 6V
BLS251 has a torque of 51 oz-in and speed of .06 @ 4.8V

1. The brushless servos offer greatly improved response time over
other servos. Specifically, the response time on the brushless
servos has been decreased from 10ms to 7ms. This means that the
servos will react much, much faster to any control input.

2. Significantly increased life span. The new brushless servo
motors will last more than five times longer than servos that include
brushed motors.

3. Lower operating temperatures. As there are not any brushes on
the motor armature, there is no spark produced when the servo motor
is in operation. Thus, the temperature remains very constant within
the servo rather than increasing as they do in a brushed motor
servo.

Furthermore, thanks to the motor design, the outer coils act as a
heat sink dissipating any heat that does occur. As an added benefit,
Futaba is able to increase the torque or speed of the servos without
increasing the case dimensions.

4. Vibration & Shock. Unlike servos that used brushed motors, the
brushless servos from Futaba are less susceptible to the effects of
vibration and/or shock. While we don't want the modeler to abandon
the use of the servo grommets and rubber mounts, these servos are
simply less apt to experience difficulties from poor or improper
installation.

Additionally, the inertia of the standard motors also facilitates the
effects of vibration on the servo's performance. By eliminating this
inertia in a brushless servo, Futaba has reduced this possibility.

5. Power consumption. Brushless servos consume approximately the
same amount of power as their digital servo counterparts.

6. Centering. Centering is the same as it is with the digital
servos. The dead band is also equal to the digitals.

7. Case size. Brushless servos are the same as a standard-size
servo.

8. Increased resolution (specifics to be confirmed later) for
smoother operation.

9. Samarium Cobalt magnet for better performance and increased
holding power.

10. Dual ball bearings.
