Default RE: Servo Question???

Sorry you feel that way. Several guys have taken the time to post based on their experience and made some very good observations along the way, to help you make a good decision here.

Looks like you will be listening to your pocket book instead of these guys, so I wish you well.

As far as where things are made, please don't insult us either. We all know where this stuff comes from. Just remember, knock offs are cheap because they cut corners somewhere to make a look a like, not held to the same standards as the name brand likely is. Better servos have better components and metallurgy, and that is why they cost more. I have had them apart over the years, and it just isn't apples for apples.

As many have pointed out, using cheap knock offs, however they are 'rated', is a crap shoot. OK for a Four Star, but not for your beautiful war bird, IMO. I have actually seen planes go down over the years from servo failure. Have you? Saw one last year. Giant scale 260 using standard servos. Ugly.

BUY GOOD EQUIPMENT, PLEASE.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I yield the balance of time back to the floor.
