Barry is right, 6Vvs. 4.8V has nothing to with servo life. More folks are
flying 6V now than probably anytime, and from what the guys have told me at JR,
our servos can handle voltages much higher than 6V.

doing to kill 5125/168 servos?

what are you guys doing to kill the flat wing servos?
Ford Long shaft winch, strong winch battery, short (600ft?) 240 lb
test braided winch line, no retriever, bit of a breeze. All
Last night Cal Posthuma and I were discussing the situation with the smaller
digital servos. We've
never had problems with them however, one of our fellow flyers did. He was
using a larger battey
pack, I think it was a 6 volt, to get more zip out of the contol surfaces and
burned out some
You don't say what servos were fried with 6V. I run 6V, as do many
others, on DS368s and DS168s with no problem for two seasons. I have
the 168s on ailerons on an Icon with RDS. Tight, no slope, no problems.

Did he ever measure the current draw on his model. If you have binding
surfaces, you are going to be pumping a lot of current through the
servos constantly. A 6-servo model at idle should be under 100 ma total.

inside the wings that you could feel thru the wing skin.

Agreed, operating at the higher voltage requires more careful
consideration. I have seen situations where 5125's smoked when the
control surfaces hung up because of the wiper, or two 5125's were
operating a single surface but in the opposite(!) directions during
set-up (more smoke), crashes

The current quality of servos available to us from all marques continue
to improve. Singling out a marque and calling it crap as someone stated
just leads to a silly pissing contest

Just ask anybody that attended last June's LISF (Long Island Silent Flyers)
contest. They will tell you what a Pike
