<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For those of us unfamiliar with pulling servos
apart this would be an excellent topic to have a step by step how-to (with
pictures) on either a web page or an article in the K-Factor. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to covert my 9411's because they already
have play in them after about 140 flights. I've not pursued it yet because I
don't know which gears to replace or if there are any "gotchas" I should be
aware of when making the change.</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>
