Coin toss.

If it bugs you try to regrease it and see if sound improves.

Usually we test servos without load. Actually such tests do not prove much.

 

Thanks man. Ill try this.

I ment regrease servo gears.

I would not replace such servo unless it gets hot after flight. That is me. Do not blame me if it breaks.

I have seen servo potentiometer wires breaking in flight due to poor soldering in manufacture.

If it ain't broke do not repair.

If you want to feel safe replace gears.

Keep in mind safety feeling is A L W A Y S an illusion.

 

I can Garuntee you that 1 of the little gear shafts is slightly bent

 

Yeah. Could be the reason. I just cleaned the gears and regreased them. It sounds better now but there is still a crunchy noise, but in mid position now. I tested the servo for 3 minutes without load. It isnt getting hot. Seems to work normal. I didnt found the gear shafts anywhere for replacement. So I can fly that way or replace the whole servo...

 

Hi guys

As Im maintaing my 500 dfc pro I have broken a screw as I was tightening the tail rotor holder. Now i ordered a new one. Its not expensive, thats not the point.

But..How to remove the tail rotor hub from the tail rotor shaft?? I have removed the m4 set screw of course. But the hub isnt moving anywhere..

I dont want to demage more. Please help me out guys. Season is coming in europe.

Thanks in advance

Iggy

 

Two solutions:
- sacrifice tail shaft with umbrella gear and simply cut it in half
- try to save it by using heat which will neutralize excessive threadlock you applied earlier.

Possible sources of heat:



Keep in mind that excessive heat can damage plastic gears.

 

Thanks man. Ill try the heat solution.

Kind regards
