Status: offline 		I agree with one exception. I have them in a new Magichand Sukoi from TBM. They seem to center well and are strong. I have about 15 flights on them and had no issues until the last flight. I am still investigating. One aileron servo locked and I had to force land the plane holding full opposite aileron just to stay level. saved the plane but smashed the gear. On the ground the servo was jumping around. Turned off system and on again. this time the servo went full lock again. All other channels were fine and the radio/recvr is fine (tried in otherplane). Very concerned. TBM is sending a replacement. I will install new servo and reeval over mem day w/e.

Status: offline 		well, if its the servo there's alwayz a couple bad eggs in the batch and I think you may have got one... lets just hope this doesn't happen alot with these the price is right and with the good specs we don't want these to have the reputation like the Tower Pro 995's....

Status: offline 		I'd back em... the thing about most 40% planes is there are multiple servos per control surface, meaning more redundancy on that surface... I would get the digital 220oz for a 40%er I think there the 9150's...

Status: offline 		Yeah, I know.... My 2550a servo stopped working on me one day, I opened it up and found that one of the leads from the motor to the board had vibrated loose, a little solder and its back working again... If you look at the TBM video of the Magic hand yak-54 they have these installed on there plane... I only have that one on my 30% yaks rudder, I'm gonna get more so I can put them all around, they have good speed and if they can power my rudder around the rest of my surfaces should be easy...
