> How about experience with 225's ? I have had two (3?) HS 225's that have died suddenly. One I was adjusting the pushrod and when I hooked it back up, it was dead... no warning. Died with far less than 50 hours on it. This was an elevator servo.
The other on was new, less than 5 hours, and it died right after launch. I had preflighted the plane and saw the aileron move, then when I launched it the aileron was frozen (thankfully in the neutral position). This one was weird in that it was holding the aileron, but acted as if it wasn't getting a signal. I sent both back to Hitec and am waiting for them back. Both were in Sailplanes and were not subject to vibration (aside from the occasional "landing"). Hitec's are good products and a great deal for gliders. But I am concerned about their reliability also. If the frozen servo had been on the elevator, I would have lost the plane for sure. I'll keep using them because I can't beat them for the price and can't afford the good stuff yet. Ken RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
