<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>....naahhhh.....not me....maybe Troy. I
usually go 500+ flights on rud/elev servos and 250 on ailerons before changing
the pots. For me, 500 flights is about what I put on the primary pattern
plane. My guess is that Jason hasn't been putting in that many
flights on his primary pattern plane in recent years - with the time he
also spends on other events. Of course with the TOC being history,
2004 might be different........<G>.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, how well Jason could fly pattern with 500
flights in a year.......that might not drive me crazy either - just make me try
to figure out how to get in 1,000 flights in a year!!! (Mark Atwood, I
know what you are going to say).</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF>So
after 3 years using the servos in my AS I should have sent them in for
"repairs". Well, that explains allot....mostly that I'm lazy...LOL. I
guess I figure if it still works well enough to get through the
pattern, I don't need to take the time to change it out.<BR><?/color><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Jason - You are going to drive
pilots like Troy Newman and Dave Lockhart crazy with revelations like this.
Just think of how well you could do with good servos. <VBG><BR><BR>Ron
