If there is useful information in these comments then please edit that information into an answer or into the question before I tidy up (delete) these comments. | |
| Feb 26, 2013 at 1:17 | comment | added | Anonymous Penguin | I can't seem to find one to buy to look at it's price. The cheapest one I found was $50 + ship. and I would need at least three... more expensive motors would be cheaper. And even then it doesn't guarantee that it will work with continuous rotation. | |

| Feb 25, 2013 at 18:16 | comment | added | Ian | This fits with ApockofFork's answer, specifically not using a hard linkage between the two servos. Relevant: youtube.com/watch?v=3fDyULSO8KU | |
| Feb 25, 2013 at 0:55 | comment | added | Anonymous Penguin | Okay... I just read the description... not good. "3 servo failures in two weeks." Oh well. Back to square one. | |

I never knew something like that existed. I wonder how you could build that... huh. It doesn't look that hard once you get all of the parts. I'm assuming this will work with continuous rotation servo. Thanks and awesome idea. EDIT: Would this work?: youtube.com/watch?v=jqsmai2Nafk The only thing I don't understand is that in Method 1 [of 2] it said "Use only if the servos travel the same distances. (Most don't!)" What does that mean? The reason I ask is it must have some benefit and it seams a little easier to build... but I wouldn't mind if it was better (reliability, etc.).

| Feb 24, 2013 at 9:54 | comment | added | Spiked3 | yeah, this is why I quit hanging around. All pilots who get paid to fly by the RC manufacturers as professional representative, use double servos. It increases efficiency, reduces the chance of failure, and improves the life of each servo. Just saying. !enter image description here Double servo trays | |
