Servo choice for spoiler(s).

[David Hall 9]

This year, I plan to get a couple of my 2m RES kits built, to have a go in the comps that have been organised for 2022.   

 

 

The kits I have are the RES Eagle and the Kavan RESCO (similar to the Circle Dancer).  These have a single spoiler.  

 

I have a few servos in hand that I would like to use. These are the Blue Arrow D05010MG 6g servos that can produce 1.2Kgcm  (but they look quite small).

 

How much torque does the spoiler servo need?

I've got a ripmax servo in my Circle Dancer, it produces about 1.2 Kg cm at 4.8 volts and its fine.

That's a Ripmax SD100, the other important thing is size, anything more than 8mm thickness would be hard to fit in the circle dancer wing.

Also, several club mates, have eagles and the spoiler linkage took some work to get it right. The circle dancer is easy to set up.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the Circle Dancer and the Resco are one and the same. Feel free to contact me if you want any more information. The fuselage is an easy build but the wing components are fragile until glued up, the main spar comprises over 20 components!
