[NSRCA-discussion] Help: Servo pins pulled out of connector body

[White, Chris]

Hey Guys,

I'm curious just how many cycles to expect from servos before changing
them out or sending for service?

Thanks,

Chris White

I guess I'm a chicken... this whole scenario seems to scream 'send them
back to Futaba / Horizon/ whoever for a full checkout' -- that always
seems less expensive in the long run than repairing and hoping...   
just my $.02...

	Check those servos carefully! I had one that moved fine until
you moved it very slowly. At some point something shorted and shorted
the battery out, and all other equipment along with it. Was lucky to get
the plane back!

	Paul:

	The soldering trick works fine, as long as you don't get a cold
joint.  I try to avoid it only because the area near where the solder
stops wicking into the wire tends to be a point of stress concentration
for the wire strands, but as long as you extend the heat shrink about
1/4" past the point where the wire gets 'bendy' again, it supports it
and prevents the work hardening of the wire from becoming a problem.  I
might be a bit nervous about those servos though - how do the gears
look?  I've had incidents where just a tiny sliver of a gear tooth was
chipped away and lead to further problems.

		Ed,

		    Sounds like I can either get the kit and crimper
from Maxx or cut the connector ends off defunct servos / extentions and
solder them to the existing servo wires - using heat shrink to keep any
flexing away from the solder joints.  Any preference ?

		Thanks,

		Paul

			Better off to replace the entire connector and
pins.  Most likely the plastic housing was damaged from the pin pulling
out.  Also, the wire had to get strained where it is clasped by the
crimp pins.  Maxx Products sells connector kits, but you need a crimper
tool.

				    I strained my Meridian through a
tree, wrecked the plane but the equipment appears OK with the exception
of both aileron servos.  When the wings came off the servo connector
body stayed in the fuse and the servos wires and pins went with the
wings.  

				    My question is : can I simply
re-insert the servo pins in another connector body (taken from defuct
servos or extentions) ?

				Thanks,

				Paul
