<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From a strictly mechanical point of view and as a
practical matter--and all gear sizes being equal, the metal gears will take more
ABUSE. The rating would be driven by the torque of the driver, in this
case--the motor. Less likely to strip them out on hard landings or
whacking surfaces on the tailgate. It would be interesting to do a study
on air loads in a typical pattern ship on what the ideal ratings would
be--probably much lower than many of us think!</FONT></DIV>

specs.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I found that the torque rating from JR on the 8411
and 8411 SA are the same! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would think that this means that the SA plastic
gear version is capable of handling the same torque as the metal gear, at
least I would hope it means their "toughness" is the same. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would expect that if the SA versions gears could not
handle the torque without failing that they would rate the two servos
differently.....What I am getting at is if the ratings are the same why would
a person ever use the metal gear version? If the ratings are the same
than the plastic SA's gear train must be just as tough as the metal gear
8411.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In other words can I use the 8411SA on a 35% plane with
as much confidence as using a 8411 metal gear?</FONT></DIV>
