| just out of curiosity Are you using 3 or 4 servos on your swash control? (90 degrees in either configuration) which one works best?
mmmm, can of worms, this has been debated many times, i fly with both, My comp machine uses 3 servo ccpm, and my turbines all fly with 4 servo's.
As to which is better, mmmm, i cannot tell the difference.
The idea of the 4 servo is if one fails in flight you can get your machine back, 3 servo's your screwed.
4 servo's you used to get a lot of interaction between the servo's at maximum input, but as we fly scale machine and NOT 3D, we are never gonna be at maximum range on the servo to cause any uneccessary wear on the servo's. Also the new radio's out like the 12FG 14MZ and others all have little mixes to take out any interaction between the 4 servo's.
On a turbine i owuld fly with 4, purely for the safety factor of if one fails,and you have 4 working together pulling and pushing large scale blades. On normal nitro machines i prefer 3 servo's.
