Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / March 2009My Next Kit Build-Up
... An Ace Bantam Midget servo, to pair up with the one I built 30 years ago running the ailerons in a Goldberg Eaglet 50 kit that's Almost Done. (Yes, I am crazy, no, it won't be nearly as good as a new servo, and yes, it'll cost more in 'real' terms than waltzing down to the LHS and buying a matched pair. But you build kits for the fun of it.)  Signaturehttp://www.wescottdesign.com > ...

But you build kits for the fun of it.) Good deal. Be sure and take pictures like you did for the control line stuff. mk >> ...

I remember this as hard, tight work. Compared to surface mount it's a snap (the microscope helps). The only thing that's a pain compared to surface mount is getting things to stay neatly in the holes until they're soldered, but that's a problem that can be overcome. Now if I can stop fantasizing about an all-digital PIC12C615 version and keep my nose to the grindstone, I may have this thing in the air in a week or two. Signaturehttp://www.wescottdesign.com |
