HS-5475HS servo-plug problems
Over the last 6 months I’ve purchased eleven Hitec HS-5475HS Digital servos. Of those eleven I found four that the red lead connector was not properly seated in the plug to the point that the little plastic finger engages the connector. This was discovered when I almost crashed my W.M. P-51, I saw one aileron go nuts at run up. Earlier that day it passed the engine running range test. Check those pins and connectors! Other than that, it’s a great servo!
PS
Remember to use only the screw provided for the servo arm, don’t use Loctite, cross thread or start a new lead, and this servo won't let you down.

I've not heard of an issue like that with any of our servos... if you want to send them in we could check them out. Perhaps you could e-mail me a picture mikem @ hitecrcd.com

RE: HS-5475HS servo-plug problems
All I had to do is push the wire/connector all the way down, lightly push the little finger in and test tug on the wires, problem solved. All installed and working. Just wanted to give you a heads up so that you could pass it on to your Q.C.
