My Feedback: (53)
Humm interesting I sort of have the same feeling on tracking with this airplane (Miss Wind)....but I taught that was just a function of me coming back to flying after so long and this smaller aircraft with a very powerful rudder.....I'm going to take my Savox out and try a better one, thank you....

Hey Alex,
I experienced the same thing on my Nuance, drove me bananas for a bit. I have about 6 different types of them and that was the only model that had way to much freeness in the gear train. I have been experimenting with them since last year. Overall, I am pleased with them.
On Another Note; I have been running mini digitals on elevators since 2007 on YS 170's and my electrics and they work just fine. The YS will beat the pots up after 100 -200 flights, electric is no problem. The bottom line is everyone will use what's always worked for them. I've had good and bad experiences with all the big names, dosent make them all bad.

I also tried a Savox SA-1258TG on rudder at the beginning of this season. The SA series were supposed to have tighter gears for more precision compared to the SH series, but i still measured around 4mm of slop at the trailing edge of the rudder or almost 1 deg of slop measured with the incidence meter.
The plane never flew right with that servo on the rudder, very hard to keep the vertical uplines straight and needed 3% of throttle to rudder mix.
I changed it with a Futaba BLS451 and all the problems disappeared, mix reduced to 1% and the gear slop is almost non-existent.

futaba not making their pots available as replacement parts is something i don't agree with. They charge top dollar for a servo with quality electronics and will sell you a replacement gear train and case if you smash one up, but they won't sell you a five cent pot to replace one with a worn spot making it useless for f3a work.
