<< The consensus is that those who have tried
alternative servos find them reliable and that hey perform as well as the
higher priced servos for normal unlimited use.
The only reason to use the 'alternative' servos is price...or those so happy
with them would use 'best'.
The 'best' earned their 'status' by their performance, construction,
materials and reptutation.
Competition allows a format for the best to distinguish themselves.
Unlimited planes spend their entire lives in a competition format....thats
what is normal for them.
If it were true that priced servos perform as well as the higher priced
servos, then there are a lot of sailplaners who feel that the 'expensive'
servos are different.
Price servos work fine, compared to the servos recognized through out the
world as the 'best' they aren't the same.
Similar, alike maybe, but not the same.
You can't use lead for gold, but you can be happy with lead :-)
Money is hard to come by for most of us. Most of started with the 'price'
components and have drawers full of them today....drawers full not sailplanes
full.
In the scheme of things is the difference in cost worth the difference in
value? If not, why do so many of the 'best, expensive' servos get sold?
Think hard before you outfit your planes DOWN to a price, versus up to a
Quality.
'and that's all I have to say about that' :-)
