5645 servo
Hello Mike
This wasn't the greatest day to fly, too cold. I broke a wooden prop, my only one for this plane and had to quit. When I got home I decided to adjust my engine a little. While doing this I noticed one of the elevator servos acting odd. I have dual 5645 on the elevator and one of the servos keep going to full end travel and hanging there. I could move the stick and the servo would track as always but when the stick was neutral it would go full travel and hang. I have the programmer, so I pulled the servo and did a reset . It was dated modified 6/01. After the reset I set middle and end points for my setup in the plane. Middle point was a -16.
I reinstalled the servo and all seems well. My question is can I trust this servo or should I send it in for a check-up. The servo is about 8 mos old, but has lived a hard life while I learned to handle my cap.
By the way you have a great product. Thanks Ralph

It certainally wouldn't hurt to send it in just to be sure there is not a problem with any of the components but if the servo had not been reset origionally then it did have the older programming that could explain the problem.
