ok little late...5625 question
Ive made my first digital servo purchase
and want opinions especially from mike. I have a 22 lb 1/3 scale pitts it had some old servos in it that were SLOW. Im hoping my decision to use 5625's in the the wings (each driving two alierions) on a 6 volt system will be enough. What say Ye all Digital pros!??? The problem is Ive already made the purchase lol and so im a little late in getting opinions but i also am on a budget..... heres a pic

The 5625's are fine digital sport servos... Are these servos of new stock or dated? Each servo should have a date code; check on the Hitec Website for your servos software revision. Did you purchase a programmer? What servo did the 5625's replace?

this is a plans/scratch built pitts from Mike Smart Plans in the UK was built bout 10 years ago it had cirrus CS 80 metal gear servos in the wings (2) i estimate them at 75-80 oz torque but were very slow on 5 cells. I have acess to a programmer but dont own one. and I bought them from servo city so they should be fresh and have a recent "born on date".

Sounds good, to me. I'd borrow the programmer. In order to realize the full potential of these servos, programming them is a must. Additionally you use the programmer to exercise the servos in the auto-test mode to burn them in... Burning the servos in is a like breaking in an engine. Rumor has it; those electro-mechanical devices that survive 15 minutes or so initially are seasoned and ready for a long service life...
