<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">There was some
of the typical RC discussion at Hemet - and one topic that came up, as it
usually does, is servo wear and replacement. With today's digital servos, I have
the following questions about digital servo replacement;</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">1) what are the
symptoms of a digital servo that is starting to wear out?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008> <FONT
face="Berlin Sans FB">- poor centering ? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008>
<FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">- does this equate to a louder 'buzz' at
center</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008>
<FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">- is the only way to tell this to put a servo on
some sort of protractor and look at the centering?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008>
<FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">- does thee servo draw more
current?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">2) What tests
can be performed either 'in the plane' or 'outside the plane' to determine if a
servo needs to be replaced?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=611385614-22052008> <FONT
face="Berlin Sans FB">- In plane testing would be ideal, but we must compare
against a 'new' servo, so maybe this is not practical.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the above would be considered.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
