That's super cool

Roger....watched this a few times. Am I correct that the small boost tab servo is programmed to provide appropriate tab deflection, given the amount of aileron movement, which is actually driven by the large servo/torque tube?

Your exactly right, its controlled by an extra aileron channel, which I can then adjust it properly,,,

Oh too cool. So no control surface trimming? Trimmed with boost tabs as well as independent fine tuning? Or does it even work that way? Never seen the boost tabs on an rc. It's just...neat!

You still have to trim the proper way of radio control airplanes, these boost tabs are just boost capable to help the main servo.
remember trim tabs in full size airplanes , when activated to trim the airplane, your main controls are floating . Not so with radio control since the servos are holding the control surface....

Roger...will your telemetry allow you to see amperage draw on the boost tab servo? Not sure if it is possible to get the right amount of movement so it doesn't fight the main ail servo.

That's a good question, I probably could get the amperage from the servo, I might just try that , thanks for the suggestion.
As far as getting it right, I will only base myself on the many years of doing this, and hope it all works out LOL

I have a request from anyone out there that might be able to help. The reason you haven't heard much lately about the brakes is I am in a bind.
I'm trying to find a round piece of aluminum 3 inches in dia. from 12 " to 15 " long,
There is a supplier here where I live but I would have to buy 60 feet of it, which of course is out of the question.
So if you know a source at decent prices, I am very interested to hear about it.

Thanks guys , appreciated
Roger

have you tried aircraftspruce.com? i believe they sell raw metals by the foot

Thanks, yes I have but they don't have as big as 3 inches
