Interesting review though I had to laugh a bit.

The guy was correct in complaining about the fraying wires... but the "unsupported wires"... from the controller board to the motor... c'mon...

He needs to get a bit real... he's talking about a 1" length or less... SHEEZ!

The motor should never move if properly mounted, nor should the circuit board. That would have been a much better and more important point of review. What does he think would happen?

Those broken wires were NOT the result of vibration, rather a bad joint and a poor assembler craming things into the case.


I would be far more worried about cold solder joints, poor soldering, poor deadband or recentering... etc.

IMHO He's focused on the wrong thing..


I haven't seen ANY "overshoot" problems even with the older servos.


The gears simply do NOT have enough inertia to cause the problem he has stated...

A lot of what he is saying is pure speculation...

While I've used a bunch of the servos on different planes as well as the newer ( and better ) versions.


I've seen others target the actual problems and benefits correctly elsewhere.

I agree with those negatives and positives... e.g. centering is not as precise as more expensive servos, etc...

But for a sports flyer most of the problems are non-issues... and the later version addressed this stuff anyway.
