RE: electronic throttle
[quote]ORIGINAL: airraptor A regular non digital servo from hitec is 20 dollars or less and a digital is 30 dollars so you will have to be cheaper than this to sell it. [/quote] Most that I know who fly IMAC or any aircraft 30% or larger use High speed digital servo for throttle repsonse and good centering capability so the servo give you precise movement. Not a 20 or 30 dollar servo

RE: electronic throttle
Yes it will be priced right and be just as reliable as the servo your using now. [quote]ORIGINAL: ahicks Would it be competitively priced, compared to what I'm using now?? Reliable? If so, I'd sure be interested! If it's too much more, the way I'm doing it now works pretty good.... [/quote]

electronic throttle
Would a electronic throttle mounted on the carb for gas engine be something you buy? by this I mean no more linkages to deal with,No more having to decide will this servo work with my engine, no more having to pull a choke. Sorry my thinking was off last night when I posted the poll

I think its be a informative thread to see who there favorite pilot was for the time period and there place in history. There lots of story's about the aircraft but we sometime forget the guys who had the courage to climb into those planes and mark there spot in history.

RE: Air retracts
My Byron P51 gear are the original set up and I only get to cycle the Door's, gear up and down one time. the mains don't bind at all, I have changed the O-rings, lube it and I even increase the air tank . I'm limited on repairs and there is no electric conversion for the Byron unit's. That is why for the b-25 I like to find out what other problem other guys have had, to avoid it when plumbing the system in this new model.

RE: Air retracts
Guys Thank you for the responses, . Im Building a Ziroli 112'' B-25 and I don't want to have issues with the retracts. I'm looking to find out what the majority of the issue that causes the loss of air pressure. I have seen time and time again where you pressurize the system in the pits, cycle the gear everything is working. You get the aircraft in the air and for some reason when you go to land, the gear either don't come out at all or they drop half way and you are forced to belly in.

Air retracts
I have a question for the guys who use air retracts system in there models, when you have gear failure of the main not comming all the way down or locking. What did you find as being the route cause of the problem? What exactly was the repair did you preform to the system and get the gear working correctly?
