So what do you guys think is going on with these things? The bec in the esc is going? I know he had more servos but he is by far not the only one to toast the esc.
The link to the bec says no digital servos....Arent our servos digital?
My Rudder and Elevator servos are the [link=http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ1090]DSV130 digitals[/link]. The ailerons are standard [link=http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ1081]3W SV80 servos[/link]. The manual states only the rudder is supposed to be digital. I think they do this due to the extra torque and force on the rudder servo due to the linkage to the front wheel. The digital servos that PZ uses are metal gear.
I am sure that this is not helping the BEC issue. The BEC in the E-Flite 25A states with a 3S LIPO it can support: 2 high torque servos or 3 standard servos or 4 sub-micro servos. The note on the sub-micro servos states:
** Sub-Micro Servos tested 4 at a time include E-Flite S-60, and S-75, JR 241, and ParkZone 3W servo.
Some other brands of servos have significantly higher current draw. Digital sub-micro servos, micro, and
mini-servos have higher current draw, use the 'standard servos' column.
I know I am not the only one with two digital servos. Maybe this is an assembly error and is perhaps causing issues. I personally never use my rudder in flight so maybe our "flight habits" can make the difference of the BEC being adequate or not. Either way PZ shot themselves in the foot with the BEC rating, IMHO.
