style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; 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 face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; 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>

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>
