frequency range.
Servo Precautions
• Do not lubricate servo gears or motors.
• Do not overload retract servos during retracted or extended conditions.Make sure they are able to travel
their full deflection. Overloading or stalling a servo can cause excessive current drain.
• Make sure all servos move freely through their rotations and no linkages hang up or bind. A binding
control linkage can cause a servo to draw excessive current. A stalled servo can drain a battery pack in a
matter of minutes.
• Correct any control surface “buzz” or “flutter” as soon as it is noticed in flight, as this condition
can destroy the feedback potentiometer in the servo. It may be extremely dangerous to ignore such
“buzz” or “flutter.”
• Use the supplied rubber grommets and brass servo eyelets when mounting your servos. Do not over-
tighten the servo mounting screws, as this negates the dampening effect of the rubber grommets.
• Ensure the servo horn is securely fastened to the servo. Use only the servo arm screws provided; the
size is different from other manufacturers.
• Discontinue to use servo arms when they become “yellowed” or discolored. Such servo arms may be
brittle and can snap at any time, possibly causing the aircraft to crash.
• Check all related mounting screws and linkages frequently. Aircraft often vibrate, causing linkages and
screws to loosen.
