Re: [RCSE] Hi Tech 5125MG Digital Wing Servo
I bought 8 several years ago for two planes. Ended up with one plane after refitting all 4 in the wing. Almost burned w hole in the wing http://www.jojoen.no/hitec5125.jpg Probably just fine for TD normal launching when you dont want to break that braided line. But for any hard launch or hard landings they are not up to it on a 3+meter model. If they were to change those gears to some machined ones I would buy the servo again.

RE: [RCSE] Hi Tech 5125MG Digital Wing Servo
I'm curious as to the pedigree of the DS 168. It looks an awful lot like the HS5125. Originally I was using DS5125's and had so many problems, they reside in the misc only for planes you don't care about drawer. I'm afraid to use them. I've been using DS368's for ailerons and HS5245's for flaps, rudder and elevator. -Original Message- From: S Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 5:37 AM To: Soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] Hi Tech 5125MG Digital Wing Servo I have been using the JR wing servo, DS168, on all four surfaces of my Erasure Xtreme with positive results. http://www.jrradios.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPS168 Steve Meyer SOAR, LSF IV RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hi Tech 5125MG Digital Wing Servo
Given the amount of severe abuse I dish out, the 5125 has demonstrated excellent results on F3B/J, 16 and 24cell F5B's, scale, and in one of the toughest applications...that being designing platforms to withstand the FAI F3B world speed record. The latter experiences have generated flutter that has at times removed control surfaces during the lengthy vertical dive, only to discover the servo had either disassociated itself from the airframe or broken the linkages. The 5125's survived intact. I have also utilized everything else that is offered, as a result I have elected to stick with the 5125. The 3 failures I have had with the 5125 were dumb thumbs on my part...at speed. It is noteworthy that some of the other OEM's are now offering a similar cased servo under their own brand name.
