. . . In comparison, banning our members from using a perfectly good servo (I use them in gliders myself) in a situation that the manufacurers never designed it for, and for which we have evidence it is not suitable for, does not really compare now does it?
I get the seriousness of the situation and the objective intent of the club.
My understanding now is that the club has adopted - let's say - an "application engineering oversight" posture that resulted in this case with a specific servo being banned from one application. In exercising this rigorous posture of due diligence over its members and how they construct their airframes, is there going to be a problem for the club if it
fails to prevent a future application failure? I'm not criticizing here but I'm curious about potential blow back from a well-intended approach . . .
