<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On one servo I replaced all but the motor gear with
the returned metal gears and ,like Troy says, it was somewhat difficult
replacing the servo arm gear and, Jerry, everything "feels" ok. The two smaller
intermediate gears had missing outer teeth. The other servo I replaced all but
the motor and servo arm gears with the returned metal gears and , Jerry, it
feels super . The inner gear on one of the intermediate gears was missing a
tooth or two. It seems to me this is the logical way to go on future conversions
and I believe this is what Troy said.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nat,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<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></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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
