wow!! finally a video about RC that is not trying to sell m e stuff and giving a scientific test on them! pretty happy to see this
Nice! Thanks for watching! I’m working on a bunch of other testing and will also be doing a push load on most of these units.
EXCELLENT info with surprising results!!
Thank you!😎
Hi Jonathan,
Great series of tests. If you used a longer screw with a jam nut on the DuBro EZ-adjust ball link, it may have supported more weight before failure. Stay safe.
Thanks Don! Thanks for watching 😎
You are right! Now where are you going to find a servo to drive it? Even as powerful as modern high voltage increases in torque are available, the old standard built by a reputable company still doing a bang up job. When you start lifting Chevy engines with RC helicopters, don’t use quick connections!
@@wrstew1272 HAHA! Great point!
Thank you for your testing for all of us pilots.
Thanks Jeff! 😊
Great series!! Thank you for taking the time and making these videos. Now the question is: how strong are the horns mounted in the control surfaces? Can you hang 150lbs from a horn mounted in an aileron for example?
Great question Mark. I think the surface mounting point could be the weak point but it depends on the aircraft. Something like an aerobatic balsa plane with covering the horn would be glued into a piece of wood. This would likely fail before the Clevis or ball joint. But on something like a fiberglass turbine aircraft where the horn is still glued into a piece of wood but surrounded and supported by fiberglass or carbon structure the clevis or ball joint would end up being the failure point.
Thank you for the video. Very amazing.
Thanks for watching!😊😎
Nice follow up video!
Thanks! 😊
Nice work. Entertaining watching you flinch every time the the connectors gave way. Would be great to see some commonly used jet servos tested to see if they meet or exceed their rated specs.
HAHA. Thanks. Yea I would like to do the servo test. Unfortunately need a mitt full of cash to purchase the servos or manufactures to step up and provide them to test.
Great testing again, thanks for putting the time and effort in :-)
Thanks so much and thanks for watching 😊
Very informative. Where did you pick up the nice size 4/40 clevis jam nuts?
They are included in the Skymaster jets kits in their hardware package.
I love these test videos , great editing. I enjoyed this one😀.
Thanks 😊
i would like to see a test on a control horn epoxied into a balsa structure as many 35 percent airframes are assembled with a 500 oz servo and see if the horn pulls out.
PETE! Awesome suggestion! Thank you for the idea and that totally makes sense.
Or if those tiny #2 screws hold the servo in place......
heh all of these fasteners are orders of magnitude stronger than they need to be and of the connection with the control surface itself.
Totally agree! I have stated in many comments, video etc that basically any of the options we have available to us as modellers is a suitable choice!
Were the Sullivan clevis threaded or soldered on?
Threaded
Will be really good if you make same test with other brands like Chinese ones more cheaper. Has a lot of other good rc hardware manufacturers. if possible $ with some European and Japanese.
Great suggestion! Need to gather up some more various types and brands that you mention to test!
Present always
Thanks!
Start doing a Foot pounds test on all engine and motors and props I wound like know
Hey Jason. Great suggestion. One of the disadvantages is we are at about 3000 ft above sea level here so numbers would be skewed for many.
What jam nuts are you using on the sullivan golden clevis?
In this video I was using a small Skymaster Jam nut that they include with their hardware.
Seems like most of them would fail after the servo that was driving the control surface. Might be interesting ( but expensive) to test one or two with a decent capacity digital servo supporting the weight. ( I remember one of the mfr's doing a demo lifting a bowling ball years ago....)
Yea very true. Maybe only some of the most expensive, highest voltage servos would survive or be capable. I am hoping to get some servos to torture test!
@@thelightersideofrc Eh you'd just rip the horn out of the flight surface before you cooked the servo unless you're using something like an S3004.
