INO-Lab HG-D261HB Gyro Servo

[Art2]

Hi guys, I'm using an INO-Lab HG-D261HB servo for my GY401 gyro.

The servo gets very hot after flight, so hot that it feels uncomfortable to touch it, but will not burn your fingers, is it normal for this servo?

I've check there's no binding on my tail and gyro has been setup properly.

I also cannot get my tail to stay rock solid in HH mode, the tail always drift to the left.

I'm running on 6V on this servo.

Any advise?

Thanks

6V might be cooking this servo

If your tail is drifting, check your set up and gain again. A drifting tail or a vibrating heli almost always result in a hot tail servo since your gyro is busy doing the correction.

helirulz is right. the 6v thats running on your servo causes it to heat up. As tail servos are the most active servo in the heli, definitely the servo will heat up faster and hotter than the rest of the servos.

a 5.1v step down will solve your problem.

Oh man I bought this servo cos it can handle 6V (from specs), looks like now I have to get a stepdown...
