Elevator Servo Replacement Freewing Mig-29, Hitec Alternate Option, Steps and Programming 

Hopefully it goes well. Kinda worried to see if it would hold up to my normal edf pounding. Hope your arrives soon. Wish u Good flights.

I see that thanks. Did you fly yours at the 3-4mm? Is that the trim area?

I was about to make the exact same comment. It would be a shame to NOT fly this aircraft with tailerons. In doing so, the servo reversing indeed becomes much easier.

I guess I never gave tailerons a thought but I also don’t have a receiver big enough right now.

@@JustPlaneCrazy channel expanders are pretty inexpensive and very practical. Here's one I use on an S-bus output with a 3 channel Futaba receiver, it's the setup I have in my F-14 giving me a total of 11 channels to work with. www.xtremepowersystems.net/proddetail.php?prod=XPS-X10%2B

Please reword your question?

@@JustPlaneCrazy Did the hitec D85 servos replacement work for you on the elevators.

Still flying it as of today’s a Flyin. It’s a combination of better linkage, servos, connector links and longer screws

Thank you

I think they are fine

They do not. This plane has at least 100 hard flights on them. I use those servos in many large edf jets. Check your wires or blue box

@@JustPlaneCrazy I'm not using the blue Box because I didn't want to reverse one of the servos I wanted them on separate channels so I can trim them so they're plugged directly into the receiver. but I am getting servo flutter If you let go of the stick too fast or if you just flick the back of the elevator when it's sitting still.

Check wires etc. I do not have any issues

It’s built into the d series servos.

@@JustPlaneCrazy Thank you for your reply. Is it every digital servo that can do it. All brands

I am only aware of Hitec. I am sure there are more but not at that price point

@@JustPlaneCrazy Thanks for the answer

You can do that. In the process of figuring out the process I was just not sure where everything was hidden, I also had one servos come unplugged as I was pulling it out so I had no choice.

Just Plane Crazy cool, I just finished installing HS 5085 in the MiG. Maiden this weekend!!!

lcacing79 good luck this weekend

I honestly cannot answer that. I only use Hitec servos. They have been very good to me. Not all servos though are even programmable. Sorry I couldn’t help more

Shooting for tonight after work. Conditions permitting

Just Plane Crazy cool

I live the zeee. Best bang for the buck. Only issue is limited size options for 6s but 5200 is a good balance between weight and power

You can’t use the radio to do it if the servo is y harnessed or y harnessed through a blue box. My servos are run through the blue box so a programmer is needed.

@@JustPlaneCrazy I see. more complicated than I thought.

No worries. It was a good question. That’s why we do vids and share content. Thanks for watching.

Both my servos stuck really bad while trying to get them out. The extensions were painted stuck fast to the inside so I removed them to check them out for damage. Otherwise you are correct. It’s an easier swap.

I wish.

I’m joking

I get it. I live certain products a bit too much but works good is just that, it works good.so tell everyone who will listen. No bs here

Explanation?

Let's say your running a pool pump motor that's rated for 110/230 volts. Your full load current(a.k.a. amperage) will be less for the higher voltage. Usually it's will be half. So if motor is rated for 10 amps@ 110. It will be rated 5amps@230volts.

I guess it’s an interesting conversation, ohms law states that they are proportional and testing I have seen supported it. I guess the efficiency conversation of supplied voltage could be debated forever. Either way thanks for your input an explanation. I appreciate learning as well.

@@JustPlaneCrazy You are correct that Ohms law is proportional. I am a mechanic in the industrial electric motor industry with 30yrs experience. Working on motors from 110volts single phase to 13k volts three phase. So your response got me thinking. So, when I went to work today. I asked my winding foreman the same question. " why is the amperage lower for higher voltages?" His first response was, " cause it is." not the answer I was looking for. Lol. Then he went on about, circular mils, why size, the amount of turns and connections internally in the motor. After a few minutes with some scratch paper. He said he would find the mathematical equation, and we could go over it at a later time. So, I wanted to thank you. Because, I am learning something new as well.
