font-family:Arial'>Please help. I have stripped aileron servo gears FOUR times.
At first I thought it was infant mortality followed by the dumb ass missed a piece
of crud in the servo case. I don’t think that’s what happened<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Here’s the setup. The plane is an Aries, JR 8231 servos.
Plane and servos are less than four months old: about 60-70 flights. Right aileron
has broken 3 times and the left has broken once (one each today). The breakage has
always been slightly right of center on the output gear. There is no static binding.
The hinge lines are sealed. I can’t be positive but I believe the gears
are breaking during a down line snap. BTW, I snap to the right. I don’t
believe its flutter because the breakage is NOT at center. I don’t believe
its excessive travel because the breakage is not at the extremes of travel.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Can the initial load of a snap place enough load on an 88
oz. servo to break a gear? I have used this exact same servo setup in two other
planes. I did break a gear one in one of those planes. Again, I just chalked it
up to wear.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
