Description

In 2019 VM has released a new plastic version of their Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100. See the first two photos. All other photos show the previous wood design - however these are useful to see the general configuration.

Vladimir's Models have developed the Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100 servo installation system to enable rudder and elevator servos to be mounted in the fuselage in a way that minimises the space required and maximises control rigidity. It is a simple, very rigid, light and compact control system.

This is brilliant idea for electric gliders and good for pure gliders too. It works for all modern F3J/F3F/F5J type gliders including the Shinto, Maxa Pro Electric, Maxa Pro glider and Supra Expert glider.

This LDS system is easy to make and easy to install. The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.

The Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100 has these advantages:

It works on most modern F3J, F3F, F5J etc fuselages.
Simple, quick, accurate installation.
Inverted upside down servos allow the tail pushrods to be straighter, reducing friction.
Lower pushrods move the rods down to improve space for the battery.
The servo horn has additional bearing support, reducing the servo backlash and protecting the servo gear against shock loads.
Works with the best economic servos currently available, the MKS DS6100 and MKS HV6100.

See photos two to six for installation instructions.

Universal Fuselage LDS

Neat and mechanically efficient system which made fuselage setup in a Max Pro 4E very easy. I took the advice of Sir Bob below (thank you m'lud), re-tapped the support pillars and replaced the screws with stainless socket heads. Soft, low quality cross head screws may be a rare systemic weakness in Vladimir's products (see seperate Maxa 4E review).

Service from Hyperflight of the usual high standard - thank you.

Great product

Very clever system that saves space and allows you to shoehorn everything in a Vladimir models electric fuselage.

As usual perfect service from hyperflight.

LDS servo tray

The principle of this system is really good. Unfortunately the pillars that support the servos were not properly tapped to receive the 2mm bolts supplied and the bolts were very soft. My solution was simply to tap them properly and use 2mm x 6mm Alan head bolts. This resolved the problem but should not have been necessary. (Otherwise they would have had 5 stars).
Given the very narrow fuselages on many models these days I believe they should make a tandem version. Slide it in and fasten with one screw or bolt.
