Default Ever heard of BMS servos?

I'm sorry about your plane. I know, it hurts. I wouldn't put 'unknown' servo into any critical place i any expensive plane. I guess mini PBF or depron 3D is the right place to check, how good they are.

I have bought 3 BMS-371 for "front yard 3D" plane. These three work fine (still ), but I found some problem with pot. On small stick movement around the center, servo jumped like crazy. It's like dirty pot symptom, but they are brand new from box. Once I moved them a couple tens times they look OK, but I still don't trust them.
In my opinion, the best plane for these servos are the cheap ones, so it wouldn;t hurt when they malfunction. I will keep them in my Front Yard 3D till they break.
