Does the Zinger Winger use solenoids or servos in its release mechanism? Whats better?
Zinger Wingers launchers are now available in either servo or solenoid versions. There is a common misconception that solenoids do not work as well as servos and that they wear out quickly. In fact solenoids are simply electro-mechanical devices that are made to last millions of cycles. Ultimately the design of the release mechanism as well as the care and maintenance of the remote winger and electronics are what dictates whether you will have a winger that functions properly. Zinger Winger has produced thousands of reliable wingers using solenoids without problems. Servos have an advantage over solenoids by providing more torque to pull the trigger on the release mechanism. They are more forgiving then solenoids as they are less prone to contamination from dust and sand. A disadvantage is that they are susceptible to water damage which the solenoid is not. For this reason if you order a servo driven launcher it is recommended you do not train in wet areas where the release and servo m
