Hey guys: I just burnt up my 3rd Hitec servo on the new Futaba RX's in two different airplanes. I have made sure that the Futaba receivers were not set to 'High Speed' mode, and there was no indication of buzzing or jittering suggesting they were in this HS mode and end points were set so no binding was occurring. I took a reading to see where my voltage is at and found it was set to 6.09v.
One servo was a HS-5245 and the other two were 65-hb's -- all on different surfaces: 5245 was a rudder servo (stopped working on the bench), the other two were hb's on my foamies ele and rudd and these stopped working in flight. The elevator servo had a visible melting spot on the bottom of the case and the aileron servo had no burn mark but does not even jump when plugged in.
I do have the radio set up for max servo travel for best resolution (I believe '140') and have limits set to stop any binding of the surfaces. Could setting up the max travel be the problem? Nothing else on the power side has changed from when used with the Spek stuff.
