<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> have to have aileron pots changed after 150 to 200 flights since I switched to YS from an OS 1.60. Running DS9411sa's. I get noticeable hesitation in movement around neutral. The servo acts like it is stuttering. I generally change aileron servos for ones with fresh pots right before the Nats. I like the 9411's in all other respects, and I suspect that the pots wear because they are driven directly from the output shaft, rather than indirectly, plus the YS shakes the bejesus out of the ailerons. The DS3421's I use on elevators never seem to wear out pots, even though they are much smaller and are also direct drive.</span><br>

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.</span></div>
