9151 Servo Failure
Bax:
upon inspecting the servos, the first and second gear are stripped. The reason I chose these servos is because Chip Hyde used them on his 40% Ultimate. At least that is what the equipement list in the RCM article about the TOC said. Now I find it hard to beleive cause they won't hold up to my 15lb airframe. I have had serveral responses to my inquiry on RCU and found out that these servos are basically made for pattern airlplanes in the 11lb range and not for a 3D scale gasser? Why isn't information like this listed in your brochures so that a person can make an informed decision. I tried asking you if they would be OK for my application prior to purchasing them but only received a standard non-informative answer. My question is, may I return all 11 servo's to you. This would include 5 still in the original packaging and 6 used for one flight. The 6 used one have had 20 guage extension soldered on. I am in a fix. I have spent a ton of money ($2,000) on Futaba servo's and receivers in the last 3 months and now can't use any of it due to being afraid to use any of the servos for a 1/4 and 1/3rd scale gas planes. I don't see any digital servos with metal gears that are in the 120 to 130oz range (standard case size) that would work. I would probably like to stay with the 9206 servo as I have them on several 1/4 scale planes and they have served me well. Why don't you make a servo comparable to JR's 8411?
