Default Carbon Servoarms and more...

Hi all,

we have new all carbon Servoarms, Ball-links and Rudder-horns.
This Servoarms are aveilable for Hitec, JR and Futaba servos. They are lighter and much more stable than aluminiumarms. Also we have some cool small parts to protect the servo connections. Fits all connections (Hitec, JR, Futaba).
If you have questions about or want some, ask me.

there is no twisting with ball-links. What i say, they are stronger and lighter than aluminium arms!

52mm arms = 3,90€/one
38mm arms = 3,60€/one
20mm arms = 2,20€/one
40mm double arms 20mm left/20mm right = 2,60€/one

Rudderhorn M6 X 66 = 2,15€/one

M3 Ball-links = 18,00€/10

Protection-clips = 8,50€/10

Shipping to the US is not that much. DHL parcel till 5Kg is about 32,-€ to the US. So if you make a order with some guys the price will be smaller for each person.

Olaf,

I clicked on your link at the bottom of your post, it is in German.

Is there a link in English, with a USD converter?

the conversion for Euro is right around 1.25:1... just multiply those figures by 1.25.

OLAF,

I just have to buy some gear off you for that great little statement alone. Great sense of humour and you certainly fit well here on the FG site.

Oh by the way looks like pretty good stuff as well.

Sure it is in German, because I΄m a German!
I think your homepage is in English, right? Because you are a American!?
To translate this page click on www.altavista.com there is a online translator for homepages. Works not really perfect, but it will help a bit.

Yes, one Euro (€) is about ~1,25 USD ($) at time.

I did a little conversion € to $ for you. (X 1,25)
It΄s only about prices because the conversion is a bit different each day.

Default Re: Carbon Servoarms and more...

Compare both the weight and pricing to the current SWB line of aluminum arms.

I like the CF idea, since it acts as more of a "Shock Absorber" compared to the Aluminum items. This is one reason I still use the "karbonite" arms from HiTec, and have, for many years, used the HD Dubro arms in just about every plane I've owned, up to 44% planes. The failure rate during normal usage for composite arms is non-existent, unless there is a crash, in which case the arms usually snap off, saving the servo geartrain and casing from severe damage.

Olaf. . I'm looking hard for some 3mm or 4-40 ID BALL Bearing end links. so far I'm having to make my own. Just aqn idea to add to your product line.

Hope you find an importer for these items. I'm sure you would sell a lot of them.
