<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The conversion is to leave the metal output gear in
place. So the gear that the servo wheel attaches too is still metal all other
gears are nylon. And the standard servo comes with a Nylon gear off the motor
already and this gear is left in place.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been running these servos converted for 2+
years now and I have tons of flights on them...We are talking over 2000 flights
on these servos converts....Lots of snaps and lots of abuse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have never had a gear strip in the setup....Servo
pots wear but not a gear go bad...I don't think you can convert the output gear
easily to nylon because of the way it is attached to the pot and the bearing.
I'm sure you can get the bearing off the shaft on the output gear and then it
might work out..I also will add a little white grease like the servos use...Also
in a pinch I have used petroleum jelly too....Probably not the best choice
but it worked.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is what gear(s) stripped?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am very curious as I have had nothing but superb
luck with this setup. My opinion this is the absolute best aileron servo setup I
have ever used. They are fast strong and light just over 1.25oz
each.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had two DS9411's coverted to SA . A gear , or
gears, stripped in both with relatively no torque by hand. They could have
easily crashed an airplane. Does the stock SA have all plastic gears, or
only one or two ? These were converted to all
plastic.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
