I would have to see that for myself. I personally can find one or two uses for Hitec servos. The first would be to add dead weight to a plane. Just duct tape it to the fuse and heavens forbid hook it up to anything. However, I would still be skeptical that it might go to full deflection and somehow cause a crash even without a servo horn, power, and not hooked up to a receiver. I've used them in two different planes. The first ones were non-digital, HS-645 & HS-525, and would not center in the same place twice if your life depended on it. The second batch was of the digital variety, HS-5645 & HS-5735. You know the ones that go to full deflection, lock-up, and then return to normal operation after the crash. This unfortunately is from first hand personal experience. The second reason to have a Hitec servo would be to see how many times I could skip one across a pond. That’s my story and I’m sticken to it!
