747drvr, If your servos are working fine now and you aren't exceeding 120% ATV then I'd say leave them be. My radio doesn't even go over 120% ATV however like you I thought I would reset them because Hitec recommended it. This resulted in a lost plane on the next flight. Like the good saying goes if it isn't broke don't fix it. I sure wish I'd left mine alone.

Mike, your right, if it was a $100 trainer I wouldn't be as upset however let me ask you this question being that we used a friends programmer to reset my servos and I don't have a manual. Does the manual for the programmer state that one should NOT go through an extension while using the programmer? If this is the cause of my servo going nuts, which I feel isn't, then why am I reading of the same problem with others including one case of a 5625 doing this fresh out of a new box.

My goal here is not to dog out Hitec servos but to find a reason for my loss so others can benefit from my loss. If going through an extension is indeed the cause then let's get that word out so this doesn't happen to any others...

You know you made a comment on the phone that like losing a plane one could easily get in a traffic accident in our car. While this is true the difference is we all carry insurance to cover accidents in our vehicles while in the case of our planes we are left with a loss, period. There is no doubt in my mind that servo failure is the result of my crash whether it was from a faulty motor, bad programming or whatever. I'm trying to learn from this loss so that myself and others can possibly prevent it in the future. One would think Hitec as a company would want to do the same instead of just saying send it to us and we will stand behind our product by repairing or replace the servo.

I've already read one thread here where Hitec repaired a servo for doing this same thing and it did it again after you repaired it... The funny thing is that thread magically disappeared today!

Is this a coincidence or is Hitec trying to hide something. After all you are the moderator for that forum Mike and most likely have the ability to delete posts..
