Even on the best, tightest servo gears, over time the vibrating surface while on the ground will wear the gear slop.
Hi Dave,
I really appreciate your contribution and take it very seriously. But we have the weight Limit in Germany and I had to weigh up between the "risk" of the one servo method and the weight. The shock loads are an argument wich I see only by landings - even if the plane is rolling on uneven underground - I will have an eye on it and perhaps change after a season to the futaba A700 servos
Best regards
