RE: [RCSE] Which JR 3421- Metal or nylon gear ?
It's probably over kill but I use metal in EVERYTHING regardless of its place on the plane. When your dealing with an airframe that costs $1200, $1500, $1800+ the difference cost in the servo is miniscule. Even on my built up stuff I have far too much time into them to have an equipment failure take it out. If I smash stuff thats one thing, but if I scimp on a control surface controller and thats what causes the failure(prior experience sadly enough when I was flying power) thats much harder to live with.

RE: [RCSE] Which JR 3421- Metal or nylon gear ?
The nylon gears work great in a vibration rich environment like heli's. This is where the SA excels. In a heli the metal gears wear quickly due to the vibration. Our sailplanes have no vibration and the metal gears should last a long time. -- Original message -- From: TG Bean [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's probably over kill but I use metal in EVERYTHING regardless of its place on the plane.

RE: [RCSE] Which JR 3421- Metal or nylon gear ?
The metal gears are stronger, especially when dealing with shock loads. But the nylon gears have less slop and stay tight longer. It's the only servo I've had fail on 5 cells - an older servo. If you are contesting with a skeg you may want the MG version.
