The latest technology for the 07 IMAC season is here! The news is out! You didn't hear it from me, but anonymous sources have uncovered the secret to extreme rudder authority. The latest trend- unmatched servos! It appears the unlimited guys are going to the so called "classic" setup.
titanium gears -overkill
ball bearings - out of style
digitals- computers are just a fad anyway
Bust out the gold stickers and fire up those reed systems cause' vintage equipment is going to be the new thing!
Check out this killer rudder setup we spotted on Adam Bry's yak!
Rumor has it he will be dropping the DA and runnin' a Briggs and Stratton 150 twin next year!

That is great! Anyone want to buy 58 partially used S128's? I also have several linear Kraft servos and a three channel brick up for grabs!!

A little explanation behind the reasoning would be helpful. Sorry my thought process fails to see the advantage of taking that step back. I'm not disagreeing, I just don't get it.

Will disagree with the "titanium gears -overkill" statement. They last longer with little to no play.

Edge 540 · 08-15-2007, 12:17 AM

Its a 40% comp yak. Not like it needs good stuff anyway. Three mismatched standards should fly it nicely. Also eliminates the need for expo.

Extra260 · 08-15-2007, 12:20 AM

This is a joke.

hpapilot · 08-15-2007, 12:20 AM

Oh man... I can't believe I didn't think of this. Gang 3 old junker servos together to have a third the torque of an 8711 with none of the precision. Brilliant!

Time to go make some mods...

Thats funny. But have you seen the boy fly? Daaammm

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a joke!

Funny as hell. Great to see people taking time to make us smile

Hey, 4/1 is for jokes. I think he's serious. The computer thing is a fad, I'll agree with you on that.

cloudshaker · 08-15-2007, 09:24 AM

What I want to see is Adam's Snapasaurus video using this setup. LOL

ShortBus · 08-15-2007, 11:56 AM

Computers are ghey.

HAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA

OH MY GOSH, THATS JUST TOO FUNNY!

I think he was actually serious.

IMACmike · 08-15-2007, 12:30 PM

I believe its true! I heard that "Z" bends are the new word in pushrod terminal connections. If I can find one of those old RCM "how to" books on setting up an R/C plane, I'll post the picture of a "V" bend in the pushrod wire (for adjustment) and a #64 rubber band to assist the elevator servo! That, my friends, is the technology we need to fall back upon!!!

Salmon · 08-15-2007, 03:30 PM

Adam actually told us by using different brands of servos with different centering, slop, etc, the combined result cancelled all slop out and the entire mechanics created a synergistic advantage. He did some kind of fancy wiring which he said amplified one servo to the next so the torque values were multiplied versus added. Hey Adam, what school did you say you were going to?
