RE: Spektrum DX18
Thanks Goose. I've used a Super Whattmeter for years for electric flight but never thought that it'd be particularly accurate for low currents. Looking at the specs on the Astroflight website I see the resolution is 10mA, so it should give a worthwhile estimate of current draw and I'll give it a try. Best regards Gordon

RE: Spektrum DX18
The 0.4V is more than I expected. With this telemetry system it's necessary to reset the min Rx volts reading after switch-on and before flight as otherwise it will read low to begin with. The micro retract servo only operates a Clippard SMTV-3 air switch and there's no binding at servo endpoints. I remember seeing a servo current ammeter advertised somewhere but can't remember where.

[quote]ORIGINAL: craigdyer Hi Gordon, End point is sensed electronically by stall current of motor when the end is reached. The stall current can be adjusted in increments of .1amp fro .1 to 1.6 amps. GBR JET controllers are very user friendly easy to program, small and at the right price too... reference [:D] Best regards Gordon

RE: I Have a New Respect for Turbine Engines
This thread reminds me of when my car's flywheel exploded. The clutch had been slipping because of an oil leak through a bearing seal, so I decided to burn off the oil by slipping the clutch against the brakes. Things were going well when suddenly there was a bang, engine revs soared, smoke and steam issued from under the bonnet, there were lots of rattles, a cat ran across the road in fight, the burnt clutch smell was indescribable, and I switched off the engine darn quick. On inspecting the damage, here's what here was: 1. Bonnet liberally dented from the inside. 2. The entire clutch bell-housing had fragmented as the flywheel went through it. 3. Chunks of flywheel were embedded in the rear firewall of the engine compartment (it was a transverse-mounted engine) immediately in front of the driver's seat. 4. The battery was cut in half and battery acid was bubbling away as it dissolved the concrete driveway. 5. The "cat" which had run away turned out to be 1/2 the flywheel, which had bounced across the road to embed itself in the garage door of my neighbour across the road, knocking the door back off of its tracks. This was back in about 1983 and I fixed the car for about £30 using parts from a breaker's yard. I don't think the fix would be just as easy with modern cars.
