Default RE: Servos


ORIGINAL: jaka
That means using servos that are older than 30 years.

No sir this is incorrect it was only around 1995 or 96 That Airtronics made the shift from #3 pin positive to centerpin positive and folks not understanding that of some of these combinations will indeed not only not function but will if the wrong pieces of the puzzle are attempted can start destroying recievers and or servos.

There are many thousands of these out there and in use to this day and it is destructive to carelessly suggest that its no big deal. It is a big deal, just last week I had a gentleman come to me and could not figure out why his Rx does not work anymore and the smoke came out. Yes, he plugged in the wrong combination of stuff. Its a Big deal and you do a disservice to all the newbys when you try to discredit my or anyones caution about the many pit falls that are out there that folks fall into with regularity especially with the advent of EBay!

This does not even address the old Futaba 'G' plug which is perhaps out there in even greater quantities still even though indeed they are around thirty years old. Yes folks are constantly selling and working with these also. Informing folks of the facts is always a better form of education Jaka.
