Default RE: servo fire

Mark, the first thing I would want to come to an understanding on, Is-How many flights on those servo's? At what point do I deploy flaps dowwind and how much torque is that servo induring? When they deploy at landing Pos, I would be hard pressed to think they were taking any more torque than a few seconds on a assy stand. I would say, Electronics is electronics. I have owned and operated some of the best Ham radios known to man. Cream of the crop and sooner or later you gonna see smoke. A main power supply transformer. A final. You replace it and key up again. What makes our losses so dramatic is seeing one of our beloved and expencive jets/aircrafts go in.
