control surfaces that do not have resonance issues at any particular throttle

setting. “Bad” setups can rapidly increase wear on servos,
and kill them in very short order. When I ran glow, I never allowed my
engine to idle super slow for than a second or two on the ground (after it was
properly setup) because of the vibration that occurs with the vast majority of
setups when the idle gets low enough.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

geartrain slop and poor centering that are signs of aging servos. Very
often before the centers go, the endpoints will start to vary…this is
another sign of wear on the pots, and while not easy to notice (because it is a
gradual change) on rudder and elevator, endpoints can change enough to throw
off aileron differential.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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></font><o:p></o:p></p>
