What Servos, 35% ?

3daviator · 01-24-2008, 04:50 PM

I bought a used AW Extra 260 with the follwing setup:

- Rudder 5955 2x
- elev/ailer 5945's, They have alot of slop in the surfaces, looks like maybe the bearings in the case.? I haven't taken any of them apart yet to be sure where all the play is coming from. Plane was flown for 1yr of Imac.
- Throttle 8611

- I was thinking of 5955's for the elev/ailer's and leaving the rudder as is or maybe going to one 8711.

Anyone with experience with this plane or similar let me know what you think.

I have a hangar-9 35% Extra 260 and i have JR DS8711 in for rudder elevator and aileron and they are nice servos

Take the two 5955's on the rudder and put them on the elevators, and get a single 8711 for the rudder.

Thanks for the input, the only problem with going to the 8711 on the Rudder is I'll have to buy a new arm but it's probably worth it.

I would say, keep the 5955 on the dudder and go with 5985 all over. I am using this setup flawlessly for sometime now
