potentiometer gone dead
Hey guys,
I have an almost brand new mini metal geared servo (similar to the hitec 81MG or 85MG). It has flew around 4-5 times on the plane (29% Giles with an OS 1.60). The engine is soft-mounted to reduce shaking.
Anyway, yesterday I turned the plane on and the servo started to dance where ever I put it at... simply the potentiometer got screwed up. I tried other servo slots and it was the same.
Anyway, what do you guys think caused it? Could it be a bad servo? Servo linkage not good (metal pushrod)...? I had a standard servo (3004) there before with the same linkage and it was fine for a lot of flights.
Thanks
Eliraz
