Need opinions about Bluebird servos?[sm=confused.gif]

I have some of their microservos. Out of a batch of 8, 2 were dead on arrival. The others work fine, and they are very cheap. I'd guess a big part of that cheapness is poor quality control. When they are built right, the servos are fine. But the failure rate, for me, was awfully high. I put them into models I don't care much about!

Don't know anything about their bigger servos, but do you really want to risk a jet on them? Up to you. I would burn them in with a servo cycler for a few hours before installing them, that's for sure.

Hope that helps a little bit, it's not a perfect answer.

I wouldn't put them in anything larger than a .40 size trainer that cost less than $150 to replace. Just my opinion but I could be wrong (Dennis Miller) Richard

Have you tried them?

Me, I'm kind of mixed on this. Some of the really cheap chinese "off-brand" electronics have been really great for me. And some not. Bluebird, I have had very mixed success. Some of the others, great success. I will say this, though...many of the chinese companies LEARN VERY VERY FAST, so you can't assume that what you think about them this year will still apply next year.
But, no, I would not be putting bluebirds in a jet just yet!

Thanks Easytiger and Richard.I have 2 servos(big 620Mg) and i intend to use them in the ailerons of a Byron F18(converted to turbine) but i change my mind.I will use Hitec ,it is almost the same price here in Portugal.

Maybe they are great, but I would not risk it. Put them on nosewheel steering or somethign like that...

Ok,i will do that. thanks again!
