Originally posted by Twowingtj View PostI too added 5mm CF square tubing to strengthen the nose. Easy mod. The newer fan set-up is much better than the original.

Learning some things. This aircraft likes to float along with full flaps. Beacuse of this I have stalled close the ground. No major damage. So less flaps on landing. Otherwise a great flight and approach. Because of this I reinforced the nose after the last landing. This gave me an idea. Night fighterish version. Used skewer sticks and chop sticks. A bit of small wire.1 Photo

Firstly apologies if this has been dealt with before. A friend of mine has damaged his 262. Aileron servo gears need replacing. I can’t find gear sets for the Freewing 17g servo. Can you actually get them. Failing that I guess I need to buy a new servo and swap the gears over. The product page on Motion RC says 17g standard servo for ailerons. What is meant by Standard? Plastic gears or analog servo. Motion seen to list only Digital servos on their website so I guess they mean plastic gears. I don’t want to buy the wrong servo if I have to buy the whole thing. Very wasteful having to buy a servo to get a gear set!

You'll find freewing servos in standard and reverse directions. The manuals are usually pretty clear on which ones you need - the servo leads are also colour coded to help you identify the direction - brown/red/yellow is standard direction, black/red/white is reverse.
I understand all of the 17g servos are digital and metal geared.

The 262 should be easy to change the whole servo as it looks like the wires are in channels. I can see financially it wouldn’t make sense for Freewing to bother with Servo gear sets, the packaging probably costs more than the gears. But for me waste is important. I try and fix everything my kids break. I bet you wouldn’t replace a servo instead of a gear if the servo cost $150. I have that level of servo in a number of models such as large gliders and helicopters.
