New Wing fit out, new servo gearing

   Although the weather hasn't been great for flying lately I've been busy putting a new wing together with some improvements made to the fit out.

  The quality of the materials and fit in the wing continue to improve- and they have been good for a long time- just like the Kingmax servos.

 I have never taken to LDS systems, I'm not sure why, I've seen them work and they look great.  But I just feel attached to horns and clevises in the wings.  Luckily that lovely man at Flight tech has helped to develop a hybrid that allows me to use the very neat LDS servo arms and ball raced servo frames but connect to the horns I just keep using.

  What was immediately obvious was that the fit is very easy to set up with effectively no slop.  When I was setting up the servos, the throws would need to be increased to get the same movement.  Greater resolution, lower strain on the servos and slop free- that all sounds good.  After a few flights the controls actually feel more crisp and with more servo throw things like delayed and curved snap flap seems easier to set up.

What a blast!

  Its that time of year when the family look at you as if you've gone mad, the weather getting colder and storms blowing across the county it should be a time for lighting the fire and staying at home.

 Slope dog and I found ourselves drawn to the slopes instead. With the wind gusting between 25 and 40mph i had the falcon ballasted to 3.4kg and streaming around the sky. 

 One thing change I've made since last winter is to use the hybrid LDS links and clevises. Its on days like this where you want maximum power going to the surfaces and zero slop that it shows itself. 

. Sometimes its good to just have a blast and enjoy yourself!
