<DIV><SPAN class=297104516-15012004>In my case, the clevis broke with the engine
at 1/4 throttle...as Steve stated...too fast to land, too slow to fly. At
first it was ok...just slow circles...but then the vibration started
sloooooowly....slowing the engine down. It was a VERY long flight...and
the throttle lowered to the point that a landing was required....just a VERY hot
landing.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><SPAN class=054391816-15012004>I knew I could not gain
any height because losing height on full throttle is the path to in-flight
destruction. At first large flat circles were flown, but something weird
happens. After a few minutes you start to lose your intuitive aileron inputs
because you don't do any for so long. A switch in strategy was required.
Eventually the plane was led into large horizontal (flat) Cuban 8's. Then you
regularly 1/2 rolled in opposite directions. You could also manage the height
gain especially when using bigger circles.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I would hate to think what would happen to my Mintor 1.70
powered plane if it was stuck on high throttle. Can you say WARP SPEED....
beam my up Scotty.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had a problem with the HiTec mini servo, the cheap one. I went to the
ball bearing version and it has served me well. </DIV>
<DIV>I am one of those that has moved up from the coreless Futaba 9101 and
9202 and FMA coreless . </DIV>
<DIV>The difference I have noticed is in these after changing servo's in
these area's areas. These are just my personal viewpoints and
opinions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Rudder 8411 digital. For normal pattern flying probably
really not needed. For extreme knife edge maneuvers it is a must with its
holding power. Good centering qualities.</DIV>
<DIV>2. Ailerons 9411 digital converted to nylon gear(smooth operation and
minimal wear compared to metal gears). These are the
midsize and fit good in the wing and are a little lighter then std size
servo. The crisp response on these is noticeable now that I am in
advanced and doing snaps. </DIV>
<DIV>3. Elevator 8417 digital. Extremely fast servo. More
noticeable control when doing snaps. Good centering.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The coreless servo's worked great but I have learned these things by trail
and error and though good advise from many people (BTW thanks to those who know
me). But for the money the coreless 9101 and 9202 are very good servo's
and I still use them. I tried the FMA coreless and although they are
plenty powerful they lacked good centering and the pots would wear
quickly.</DIV>
