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
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.
