You put Sierra gear in the plane, but now you want to run cheap Chinese servos.
Does this mean I should put expensive american servos or cheap chinese servos in my chinese arf with the chinese engine???
More like, put some good reliable servos in it. When one of these ''knockoff'' fails and drain your battery in a few minutes....
....you have 30 pound 50cc missile - aiming (when you lucky) to the ground and not into bystanders. American bystanders...
One more for Ram,
Most throttle arms have a spring, which forces to close the butterfly in the carb in case of an power loss. There is your stress for the throttle servo
True, but I usually disable these in the process of modifying the hook-ups, at least on the Walbro and Tillison. They are not powerful enough to close against a servo anyway. I knew you would mention it though.
