foamie servos

[Xpress..]

Hmm, I think the best method sofar is that thin double sided tape. Sticks just like glue, and is very lightweight. Should only add a gram onto the total weight for 3-4 servos.

So, CA or sumo would work here? I don't feel like taping.....

[3D-Seth]

Yup

Neato!

(did I just use a gay '70's term???)

I might have my new Yak flyin in the morning.....(if I'm not overly swamped with life as I have been....)

do you wrap tape around your servos?

im thinking of that but its gonna add some weight

I do when I feel like it. I don't feel like it today.

On all my 12-13oz foamies I wrap the servo with masking tape and then CA it in place. The weight of the tape is less than 1gram, .7grams to be exact. Not bat for a 340gram foamie.

The nice thing about this setup is that you can later rip out the servo, peel the masking tape and the servo is just like new.

Also, I use 8gram servos that put out 26oz of torque, and I have never had one come loose on me using masking tape and CA.

Ca on sub 5 oz foamies, Homedepot double sided electrical foam tape for 38inch and larger.(twice as strong as servo tape) Used with servos from D47,Hs 45s up to HS 225 mg servos with no problems.

I use the tape method, because all you have to do is slice and remove. Instant brand new servo

But still, I believe the thin double sided tape from scotch is the best for the small indoor foamies. But the best is mounting them in cutouts, and using a dab of CA on the servo rails.

THis is a DW Yak that I'm going to wring the snot out of outside. It will have the wings flexing during full throttle blenders, walls, and other high stress 3D aerobatics.

On my last three I been using the double sided tape. when you go to Home depot they sell it in a roll,The backing is red. I've flown full throttle double snap rolls, big high speed blenders, one so violent my motor mount riped off ,but the servos held no problem. Scuff the back wipe with alcohol put the servo in place ,to remove twist side ways and pop off ,it takes a little force. Lightly knife the edge to get the removal started.
