Hello Dave, Thanks for your reply. First of all, who makes the SO4 servo and how is it set up inside the hull.? I presume that there must be a cord attached that has to come up through the deck somewhere. How does it move the sail, as the sprit of the mainsail is attached to vangs, what part do they play in the movement of the sail. ? Do the vangs not prevent the sail from moving? I only have a two channel radio. Is this enough, as I had intended to use one servo to operate the rudder? Any further info would be welcome. Cheers. Ray

Subj: Re: [Association_of_Model_Barge_Owners] sail arm servos

Hi Ray   

            I use a S04 Sail arm in all my barges they work well as they allow the sails to be released alot quicker.

As for installation I use the S04 for the main sail & a std servo for the staysail.

Hope this is of some help if not come back to me and I will try and help you out further.

 

Regards

Dave Watts

Hi, Does anyone in the group use a sail-arm servo, and, if so, have
you any advice as to the best way to install and set up such a servo
with relation to a Thames barge? Ray
