I spoke with Dave at DA recently, and they're just putting the finishing touches on it. Should be real soon!

Thank god.

Understood. You need to touch the flame before you believe it'll burn.
If your MG90 on elevator fails, you'll be collecting scrap wood at the field, not swapping to Hitecs.

FWIW, not attacking you here, just trying to save your plane. Had a 48" MXS for a while, it's simply awesome to fly... But I can say with 100% certainty, the MG90 is not up to a modern 48" 3D ARF on 4s power...

Good luck.

Loosing an elevator servo isn't fun, happened to me this weekend on my 74 edge(it locked full down). Got it down in one piece though.

It is experimental. I have had good luck with the MG90's. If they burn up I will be switching to Hitecs. All experimental.

Dan,

When it comes to experimenting with servos, be cautious.

I just finished testing new servos, and what I have found is that loosing a plane is very possible when testing out new electronics. I was given 8 servos (RC-OMG :scaredchair: ) to test and 4 of them had catastrophic failures.


Have fun and be safe.

Good advice Jacob, however the OMG were unknowns when you got them, they were a brand new design seeing action for the first time, and you were asked to push them hard.

Tower Pro MG90s have been around for YEARS, and have been flown in balsa 3D airplanes before. MG90s are widely accepted to be a bottom budget servo. I too used them once and so my opinion is based on experience.

Depth Perception can be a cruel Mistress!

That can't be good...what happened?

Although she held up just fine and still holds a charge, something tells me that I should retire this one:veryshocked:

You see that gang of lights way up high? Well, I was no where even near it! :facepalm:

I don't think that's the kind of "being in the spotlight" that you want to shoot for!
