NOW.. having said this I have a question out to Futaba on those.. the specs sheet states NOT FOR AIR RECEIVER. they make a version of this servo called the BLS A600..
I REALY HOPE we have not entered the "it matters" when it comes to servos regarding system type.. I am hoping as long as you use them in "normal" it will work with either.
We will see.

Did Don Ferrette obtain Bob Ferguson’s templates after his passing?
Any word on whether Don is going to produce some Jaguar boats?

second time I have printed TPU mounts for a boat.. I have convinced myself.. this is the only way to do this.. LOL
The mounts get attached with shoegoo.. the servos get a small dab of shoegoo under the mounting tabs.. its just TO EASY!

Grim, care to share what the issue with the previous mixture/throttle servo's were? Vibration kill them?

happy to share.. I HAVE NO IDEA.. I had them all setup.. ready to go.. did a check before I headed to the pond and one of the small servos (S3270svi) started cycling. NO CLUE..
I tried a few things to trouble shoot but the servo was not having it.
Out she all came!

that it is... LOL.
I designed the files for that back in 09 or so... parts are all laser cut (I have one of those in the garage) so who knows.. BTY.. the front sponsons are built up.. AND have these neat little weeping pockets for the boom tubes to glue into.. (trick for sure)

Hey Mike, your builds are always so pristine, mine are clean too but yours just have that extra touch of bling
I’ve got a “forever” build going with a Whiplash 20, really 90% done plus seal and paint, REALLY want to finish and start testing the beast, gotta put those lazy genes to rest and just do it! Wallster
