Default RE: Gas engine vibrations and throttle servos

Hello guys, I´m glad to see this subject, because I almost crashed my 33% toc yak this past weekend do to a HS-225 servo failure on the throttle, I was hovering and all of the sudden I didn´t have power control no more, the servo failed about 1/4 to 1/2 of power, afortunately I got out of the situation and had to wait until the engine ran out of fuel and landed dead stick. The worst thing is that I went home and puted another HS-225 in the same place and went flying the next day thinking that the servo failed for another reason other than what you guys are talking about in this forum. My is mounted about 10 inches behind the carb with a metal pushrod. NOW I KNOW WHY MY SERVO FAILED! And I´m lucky the newone didn´t failed the next day I went Flying. Now I will remove the HS-225 miny servo from there and will use an standard futaba 148 or 3003 with a plastic rod in it. So MR RAVEN I hope you read my Story and do what this friends are telling you. DONT USE A MINY ON YOUR THROTTLE FOR A GASER!!!!!!!!!! BIG PROBABILITIS THAT IT WILL FAIL:::::::::::::::
