Reviews (5)

Includes 5 reviews aggregated from around the web.

Owner opinion is mixed, from a handful of German-language forum threads. An owner with about 10 years of use in a thermal-glider model says it is not a bad servo but its failure rate is not negligible, and club mates have had sudden electronics failures after months of normal use. Another builder had aileron servos jitter at one deflection on both an original and a replacement unit, while others describe it as a good choice for 48-inch aerobatic planes.
