Hi Guys, How about "the rest of the story".
We at Hitec are aware of a HS-5125MG failing in flight in the manor described by Mr. Till while being used as the elevator servo on a 15-17 pound turbine powered jet model. Would Mr. Till be willing to confirm this is the case to which he is referring to? If this is the failure in question, I would have the modeling public know the application of the 5125MG was inappropriate. Digital circuitry in a servo rated at 49oz/in does not make the servo "magical" and thus capable of over coming the very strict and unyielding laws of physics. There is an old saying "use the right tool for the job", it is clear the 5125MG was not the correct servo for the elevator of that heavy plane. Ladies and Gentleman please learn from this mistake so it is not replicated elsewhere. It is regrettable anytime a expensive plane "goes in" for a mechanical reasons, it is further regrettable a good, solid product such as the Hitec 5125MG is defamed through gossip on the internet.

I think they have "current draw issues".
