...better but bigger
With the Raptor glider being ARF, I'd spent some time reading posts regarding what kit people had used to complete the build. As far as servos were concerned, most people used higher-spec ball-bearing servos and, just to be sure, I decided to follow suit.
The servos arrived, each separately boxed as well as being bagged inside; over-packaged if ever I saw it. However more annoyance was in store as I discovered that the bearinged servos, in order to accommodate the extra gear, had the casings extended downwards, with the result that the swish new servos were too deep for the laser-cut mounts, with the Raptor having the servos installed on their sides.
The cut-outs are in fact the exact size of the Turnigy TG9Z servo but, due to these being apparently sensitive to binding & alignment, I was only going to use for the flaps. So, after renewed reviewing of servo specifications & sizes, I decided on the best servo for the job; smaller, stronger, cheaper and very familiar.
The faithful HXT900...
