Hey OD, don't mean to bust bawls but I have a few things to say about my servo inquiry.
We don't "know" each other. I've met you twice. I appreciate the time you've taken with me in person.
For future reference, when I say this "thing" is larger and heavier this is because I believe what I say. Call it a "belief engine". That which I know to be true, finite, becomes, in my mind, a belief.
So I take mild offense in your statement . . .
"Both servos are exactly the same size, so your information there is wrong."
If I were not an asshole I would let this lay. But I am an asshole. Being a noob on this forum and have vested trust in your advice I feel obligated to inform you of the physical and performance attributes of these two servos. The Futaba S9650 and the S9602.
Side by side specs . . .
The S9650 on my scale tipped out at 24.1, minus horn and screw . . . prolly 2 grams . . .
The S9602 . . .
Tall S9650 . . .
Tall S9602 . . .
Wide S9650 . . .
Wide S9602 . . .
When I "say" something I mean it . ..
That is all . ..
