RC Aero Updates - What have WE been UP TOO

Hey All
WOW.. has it really been weeks since that last update. That is incredible! Time has definitely flown this coop.... Time to catch up with what has been going on here and everywhere.

In December, we penned a deal to be the EAST COAST DISTRIBUTOR for 42 Percent Products. We figured since we were always using their products why not carry them and share them with our customers!

Their product line is availabe for viewing at our website or you can go the their site -

I just love their remote electronic kill switch. All my planes have them, and for me anyway, it is a cheap insurance policy and peace of mind.

That said, all their products are great value. PLUS they are all made right here in the USA. Service is outstanding, as they will stand behind, and in front of any product they sell. Oh.. and they also design their own products too. Add to the fact that they are modelers too, and you get a win/win with this.

OK.. going on... We have also been testing a brand of servos... not just some out of the way, no name brand cheap servos either. These are class acts.

One of our distributors - Steve Cahill has been testing these for the last 2 months (yeah we are engineers and we do things the right way.) OK first about the servos themselves.

We are going to bringing out 2 types of servos..- both digital, metal geared, and all programmable too!!!!
Coreless and Ferrite Brush motor.
Specs -
Thrust @ 6.0V - Coreless - 276 oz/in
Ferrite - 193 oz/in

Not bad right!!!! OK... what about the cost.... Coreless - $48, Ferrite - $32.... and we are still working to get the pricing lower.

The interesting part is that these are programmable too. That will cost a whole $20 for the setup.

How is the testing going you ask?
Incredible - We have a couple of guys doing the testing and their results have been positive.

We are testing by attaching a dowel on the servo (12"). At the end we put a load of 2kg. Then we cycle the servo. Full extension UP - Center - Full Extension Down - Center - Repeat.

Steve also attached a precision protractor to measure drift. He has put in excess of 600,000 cycles on the servos - NONE have crapped out... and ALL are still hitting the 0/0 drift mark.

More on this soon. We expect to be carrying them by the end of the February. COOL stuff.
