2025 STOL challenge

[Mr Man]

Yeah I like assembly! (and flying!) My least favorite part is stitching the plans all together.

I think that goes for everyone...👍

Hey guys do you think that 9g metal gear servos will be strong enough for my XL Scout and Patriot Rc's XL triplane?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Or I could get 12g.......

I would probably do 12g metal gear, but it depends on how hard you are going to be pushing it.

BTW, 12g metal gear are the same size as 9g plastic gear, they just weigh 3 more grams do to the metal gears being heavier.

So I’ve never seen 9g metal gear….

Yup, that’s a 12g

 

[Mr Man]

MG 90 Is the size I believe.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yup, that’s a 12g

They are listed as 9g on amazon.....

Hmm, servos are normally sorted by weight, and the metal o es weigh 12g I believe… I think Flite Test made a video on it once.

 

[Mr Man]

But you may be right.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

I know I have seen 12g metal gear servos too.

I don't know...I thought the 12g ones also had stronger motors...

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Why are 55g ones so cheap compared to 17g?!

 

[Mr Man]

Why are 55g ones so cheap compared to 17g?!

Idk, I’d say that it is probably because they have higher demand, cause rc cars use them.

That's what I am guessing.

About half way done cutting out!
