Wanted To Buy - JR Matchbox

[Hotshot Charlie]

Hi folks,

I am looking for a JR matchbox for my scale project. Anyone have one in their toolbox that they aren't using?

Here is what I am looking for:

Rob,
I would guess your consider using the match box on a scale airplane project.

I can not think of any application where this could be used a heli.

The matchbox is for applications like where 4 servos are ganged together to operate the rudder. The matchbox will individually allow end point adjustment of each servo for that one channel.

Hey David,

Nope, it's for my Heli project.

I will have 3 servos ganged together operating retracts on my Airwolf. It has been recommended that I use this for simplification and to separate the retracts (current draw) from the main system. I could get by using two retract servos, one for the two back gears and one on the front or this method, But, I sort of like doing it this way with the matchbox. I will be able to use 3 standard 537's or 3001's and the matchbox with an addtional battery pack. It gives me all the EP, Centering and Reversing adjustments and keeps any drain from the retract servos from plinking me out of the sky.

Basically it is for simplification and safety. I am open to other suggestions, though?

Never thought about retracts. <G> Yeah it should work fine for that application.

Most Airwolfs I have seen. The two rear wheels retract with the same servo and the front wheel uses its own servo. But the way your planning to do it should be simple and easy.

Hehehehe I am all for simple !!! :wink: I was going to try to have the project along for B'ham, but I won't make it this time with the Airwolf. Me and my Gohbee will be there.
