servo leads

can JR servo leads(extension ones) be used on Futaba applications ,is it just the signal wire thats a different colour ?

yes John absoultly fine mate just differant colours

Should be fine, as Miss Barnes says. One thing to watch out for, is that you plug the leads in the right way around. Futaba plugs have a little tag on one side to polarise them, whereas the JR plugs don't have the tag, but have chamfered edges on the plug.

Also don't forget you cant use a Futaba/Hitec charger for a JR or Spektrum TX or vice versa. The polarity is reversed.

Hey, i was just wandering do micro servos give less movement than regular ones, or are they all diffirent?
Thanks

Generally they have the same centre pivot movement, however the servo arm is alot shorter which will not gives as much throw for the flying control surface (small traversing arc). Also in terms of "power output" a mini servo may not be upto the required power capacity (there are some mighty powerful ones) Mini servos are genenerally only for use on small light aircraft where power requirement is not important due to the forces on the flying surfaces being low. I do however run mini servos on auxiliaries (air valves) on lagre aircraft for example, as power is not importnant.

Hi Ifan, nice to hear from you on here, Richard has already answered the question you posed so I won't double up on what he said just wanted to welcome you and ask how a young man from the wilds of Gwynedd has ended up on the Rhyl forum,. just curious that's all and please feel welcome, oh and by the way are you an aeromodeller ?

I was just lokking on the internet for any clubs in this area, and i found that this is the closest one to where i live. I am just starting the hobby and i am enjoying it, at the moment i only fly a 2 chanel plane but i got a 4ch at chrismas that didnt work so i had to send it back .
Anyway ive looked at this site and some of the planes are amazing

OK Ifan nice to hear from you, there is a club down in Porthmadog area I don't know whether that's any closer to you? Anyway good luck with the four channel job once you get it working

Welcome indeed!

I'm not entirely sure whereabouts in Gwynedd you are based (Only been in Wales for 5 years myself, and I'm terrible at directions!), but if you need any help setting your new models up, or want any advice, then feel free to shout on here! I know I am always happy to help out where I can, and I think most people are like that too. If you want to pop along to the club and see some of out "toys" in the flesh, then again, just shout up!

Cheers
Andy
