What is a Servo?

A servo is a mechanical unit that is used in remote controlled helicopters to control the rudder, cyclic and collective via linkages. A typical six-channel helicopter will have four servos.

. One servo for elevator that controls the up and down pitch of the helicopters nose.
. One servo for ailerons that controls left and right roll.
. One servo for rudder that controls left and right yaw.
. One servo for collective that controls the pitch of the main rotor blades.

When you move the sticker on the transmitter, a signal is transmitted to the helicopter receiver. The receiver will recognize the appropriate channel so that the correct servo is activated. Movement of the servo arm is accomplished by means of a small electrical motor and gears inside the servo casing.
Because a servo plays an intricate part in controlling the helicopter, it is very important that all servos are in proper working condition and of high quality.

 

RC Helicopter Tips & Setup e-Guide

120º/140º CCPM Swashplate Setup e-Guide
I came across this excellent R/C helicopter e-book. You will find this e-book very helpful. All tips included in this book can be applied to any collective pitch helicopter. 

Illustrations and advice, tips and settings, basically everything the factory manual failed to provide plus much more. Blade 400, T-Rex 450, or any other quality collective pitch helicopter, electric or nitro, it doesn't matter - this RC helicopter tips e-guide/book will help.

From the smallest micro electrics to the largest turbines, if your helicopter has a
120º or 140º CCPM swashplate and you are intimidated by the setup process, this e-book
will answer all your questions, and perhaps several others you didn't even know about.

If you wish to learn more about what's inside this latest e-Book of John Salt, just click on
the image of the book.
