[NSRCA-discussion] Servicing Servos

[colin chariandy]

Sounds like that should be bottled....I can sure use a shot of it before every contest.

I suspect that when you get them back, you will find that your flying improves some!  It is easy to get used to poor performing servos, when it happens slowly over time.  We think that we are just not a sharp as we were, or the airplane is getting tired.   New pots can really bring a model back to life!

OK, I got just over 300 flights on these servos so I suppose they really need service.

 

I'll package them up and them off to you.

 

Thanks

Colin.

Generally.  Sometimes a poor fitting cam or even a motor can be required.  I usually don’t deal with motors, as their cost (>$50!) makes it cheaper to get another servo…

Thanks Tony.

 

Is the Pot replacement the only work needed to recover the performance and give another 100-200 flights?

Colin:
I do a lot of competition pattern servos here at Radio South.  Most of the time, you will be able to get 100-200 flights on servos, however there are some that say they can feel degradation of centering in as few a 30 flights.  Most of the time, replacing a pot will cost you around $20 per servo.

Generally, are people servicing their servos? How often (for glow powered airplanes) and does the service correct chatter about the centre?

 

Where is a good place to send Futaba Servos and what's the typical cost and turn around time?

 

Thanks

Colin.
