<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing you could do is build a special harness
to go to the tail that consisted of two 18 ga. wires for power and three
26 ga. wires for the rudder and two elevator servo signals (assumes three
channels being used). In the tail you could fan it out to three very short
female connectors. Not sure it is worth the trouble but could save
weight.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I am sorry that took me so long. The extra heavy duty extensions
are in the plane and I can not weigh those. I have 12" long JR
extensions. The heavy duty is 5 grs. The light duty is 4
grms. That is only 1 gr. difference but is 25% more than the light
duty. I think the extra heavy duty could be around 50% more or 8
grms. We have a lot of extensions in the ABBRA gas
version. If we assume 8 ft of EHH exteansions we could save 32
grms. or 1.02 oz. It is not much but it is 1 oz.</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need suggestions to make servo extensions as light as possible.
This is for the new ABBRA with gasoline engine and we have the servos in
the back to better balance the plane. I think we can save some
weight if we can get very light servo extensions. We are using 4
digital servos JR 3241 in the tail. One for each elevator and two
pull-pull configuration for the rudder. The plane right now is about
6 oz over 11 pounds and we are looking for places to reduce the
weight. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
