Magic 4/5 Servo VR Special
From Magic Timers
At the request of a customer we have done a limited run of a timer we are calling the 4/5 Servo VR Special. With the standard VR (yellow) timer the voltage from a 2 cell LiPo is regulated to 5 volts for all the timer functions, servos, RDT, etc. It is considered by many that regulating the voltage like this helps the servos perform consistently over a number of flights without recharging the battery. For LDA F1As in particular, consistent servo action is considered critical for consistent performance. You will notice that we said “many” in the above description. Two or three customers wanted to use high voltage servos for servo 1, the stabilizer servo and take full advantage of the higher voltage of a two cell LiPo. To this end we have a few 4/5 servo VR timers where the power to servo 1 bypasses the voltage regulator and that servo gets the full voltage of the 2 cell LiPo battery. We do not know if people are really interested in this version. Timers from this limited production run will be available only at the upcoming Lost Hills World Champs. If any remain after the Champs and there is sufficient interest they will be offered for sale more generally.

Editor’s Comment We have been asked to run this for a few issues of SEN. The F1A is the event with the largest number of participants and a couple of people who had committed to time have dropped out so more people are needed.
