Fan ventilation for servos
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2023 10:23 pm
My both roll and pitch servos are in a tight stick control bay of my Mustang2. It makes for a super tidy installation, but as I'm doing testing now, I'm concerned about heating/overheating. I have no actual data to indicate an overheating problem, just doing the thought engineering.
I have room to install a small 60mm computer fan, something like this (or less CFM) that would blow into the bay.....

QU: Can I pick off power from the servos to run such a fan, so that it comes on when the servos are activated? Id use a diode in the power line to get from either active servo.
Thanks
