Mr Matt is right but only if the gain is turned up too high. There's a great video on Youtube with a guy trying to fly a plane with a stabiliser in it. The darned thing is up and down about 30 times a minute. It's a good video only in that it shows the difference between not enough gain and too much. Then again if anyone wishes to burn out his servos, it's OK by me. As long as his plane doesn't hit me on the way down, or my plane.:-)

As for getting upset about the stabilizer getting burned out and the plane crashing, what about a receiver burning out and crashing. The same effect isn't it. I do agree it doubles the chance of something burning out. In almost 60 years of flying I've never had a receiver burn out. Then again for the first 20 years I never had a receiver. I couldn't afford one until I joined the Navy and flying wasn't the done thing.

I spent most of my time on a bloody aircraft carrier and not once did anyone join the ship who wanted to use the flight deck for RC. I now wish I'd been flying. Imagine taking off and landing on a real carrier at sea. I haven't a clue if it would have been allowed???

Anyway, enough of arguing about it. I might just ask my nurse to bring in the Bixler so I can fit a brand new stabilizer I have. It's handy having a 15 drawer cabinet alongside the bed containing a mass of parts. I'm waiting for it to drop through the floor from being overloaded. One drawer for tools, one for charging, and parts in the rest. My wife asked what it would be worth should I decide to kick the bucket, I estimated $4,000.00 and that's being conservative. So if ever you wish to pay me a midnight visit to relieve me of my cabinet, don't bother, the cabinet is too damned heavy, I'm a light sleeper and I doubt if you'd be able to get anywhere near me due to my absolutely evil little dog who'll relieve you of your ankle in seconds. Should you get past her I have a surprise for you, don't ask what it is, but it's definitely not a kiss. :-)
Have fun flying guys.......... Stu
