Fusion 180 with Lynx DS-895-hv servos
Hey guys, I had a stock elevator servo die on me, leading to an epic crash. I assume all my recent crashes killed the servo. It's just the electronic part of the servo that's bad, the gears feel fine. I will definitely hang on to the servo gears for future use!
It appears that replacement stock servos aren't going to be available until July 20th, at the soonest? Thus, I can either shelve the heli or pull a servo off my Blade 150S. Not liking either of these choices, I decided to install some DS-895-hv cyclic servos from a crashed Oxy2. After putting a couple dozen packs through the Fusion 180, I think the Lynx DS-895-hv cyclic servos are a great alternative to the stock servos. It is worth mentioning, however, the Lynx servos seem to have a greater throw than the stock servos. I did observe some binding of the grip links when moving the swash plate to extreme positions during the installation. This didn't seem to affect flight at all, but it may be necessary to reduce the travel of the Lynx servos. The Lynx servos also seem to affect the required length of the servo links. That is, the servo arms of the Lynx servos seem to be a bit closer to the swash plate. Since I already shortened the servo links when I installed a 180 CFX rotor head, I didn't want to shorten the servo links any more. So I relied upon electronically adjusting the servo neutral positions to center the swash plate on the main shaft. I may do a mechanical adjustment later on, though. It seems that I still have some crash damage somewhere on the heli. The main blade tracking is off and the tail fin is slightly blurry. None of this affected the heli's performance at all, nor does any of it having anything to do with the DS-895-hv servos. OK, here are a couple of flights of the Fusion 180 with the DS-895-hv cyclic servos: Blade Fusion 180 with Lynx DS-895-hv servos -- Flight 1:
