Still can't get my WH 35% Extra figured out. I put a new Hitec 7955 servo in it. On knife edge you can see the rudder just flatten out. I thought the old 7955 servo was bad and swapped it out. Doing the same with the new one. It's on a pull pull. But get this on low rates it seems the have plenty of authority to hold knife edge. On high rate it will not hold knife edge! The cables are tight.. I guess I need two! Any body have this happen?

**Cracky** · 06-18-2009, 09:10 PM

can you go push-pull in the tail and cheat with mechanical advantage???

Yes, when I was at Nall there was a guy with the same plane. His was setup with a servo in the tail. Could I get into a problem using a 4" offset arm and not having the cables crossed?

Greyhoundman · 06-18-2009, 11:49 PM

Is the pulling cable tight throughout the full range of motion?

Yes they are tight. It's wierd on low rates the plane will hold knife edge and climb. On high rates the rudder slowly goes away! I've already checked for some mix or something obvious. I guess it just heats up and fades.

That was going to be my next guess, Does your Extra have room for a second pull pull servo? If it does throw it in and be done. IF i say IF your extra is like my edge there is only room for one pull pull servo but there are 2 locations on the fuse for push pull servo's in the tail one on each side.

The tray has a spot for two. I guess that's what I'll try next!

STLFLYER · 06-19-2009, 12:45 PM

I will see Trent today. I will tell him to get his ass on here

JagerBomb · 06-20-2009, 11:42 AM

Had a little surgery on Thursday
feeling better now. 66 u need to look at your extensions, sounds like voltage loss to me or weak servo.
