I've got a system where I have 4 digital servos with the following specs:
Brand/Model: Solar/D771
Speed
@ 6.0v0.1Speed
@ 7.4v0.08Torque (oz./in)
Torque (oz./in)
6.0v 189.04
7.4v 214.06
I don't see any information on current draw and I have not hooked up an amp meter (yet).
These servos are being powered from a 2S 40C 3300mah Life battery through a BEC set to 6V output (since my RX cannot handle more than 6V). This BEC specifies a 6A continuous output current with a 10amp burst.
I had a friend fly the plane using this configuration and he complained at two differnt times that he thought the ailerons were not responding, but they came back. He landed the plane and told me he thought the servos were bad.
I've been flying the plane in this configuration and have not noticed the issue, although my friend is a much better pilot than I am and was definitely flying the plane harder than I do.
I'm looking for some input on the configuration...are the servos possibly drawing more amps than the BEC can provide? I will double check for binding but I don't think that is an issue. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
