Default RE: Servo Saver

I've got to agree with Bigtim here. Remove the servo saver on your main control surfaces (rudder, elevator, aileron). These surfaces need to be firm or they will flex as you use them in flight. You really don't need servo savers on these controls as you can adjust the throws so that they only move with the full extent of the servo travel. About the only control that I would consider using a servo saver on would be your nosewheel is you are using a trike landing gear setup. If you have a taildragger setup simply use a tailwheel that has a spring in is such as the Sullivan tailwheels.

Hope this helps
