Went to the post exchange (PX or basically a department store) today to escort a soldier. On my way in I noticed a heli stand. I figured I would hit it up on the way back.
On the way back I did just that. I bought nothing off the table, one no money and two I would feel like I was cheating on the Protos. After looking around I noticed they were all syma brand. This does not change the fact that it is a kiosk heli.
One thing caught me off guard, sh said that she could get spair parts for all of her products.
The one I would have bought was the ch-46. It was not a true scale but it was none the less a ch-46. That was my excitement for today.

Yes, I can move the stick quite a bit back and forth and the servo will not move. It's just not as precise as the more expensive servos.
But, it's all down the drain anyway. None of the 3 helicopters will see air today. Where I fly, there is a swarm of wasps that have decided to make a home within my eve. And not the ones that usually leave you alone, these are the dark red ones that get pissed off just seeing you. Add noise, vibration and smoke to that mix and they go into defensive mode. I'm not risking myself or any of the helicopters for them. Wish there was an easy way to get rid of them, but I have tried the sprays, I have tried sealing off their hole, they always find another way in. After a decade of fighting them, I give up, they win.

Here is a better explination that is actually happening on the helicopter. You will set yoru pitch where you raise your stick up from low to mid stick, adn it's at 0º of pitch. Slowly move the stick up until the servo moves again, the it's showing 1.2º of pitch. That is a 1.2º dead band. I can not get anything from 0º to 1.2º to register. I think that is why the helicopter freaked out last night when I took it outside under the light. AFter thinking about it, I think the wasps did me a favor lol. Might have crashed it.

That sucks!! I did have those servos, but have put them in the box for another project where I'm not so worried about it.
Bad news about those wasps Tony!! Doesn't sound good at all....
Been a beautiful weekend here, but no time for flying since I haven't had time to do my repairs with all the getting house ready

They are digital. They just have suck a LARGE deadband on them that they are unusable on a helicopter or any kind of precision flight. I have them on a flybarless with a 3GX and they SUCK. Just took it out again after playing with some settings, and yup, they still suck lmao. But the new settings in the 3GX made it feel REALLY weird.
