Need an idea to fabricate.

I'm gona build a heat sink for my open air / heat shield'ed, / tail servo . Every time I land - I've gotten into this bad habit of feeling it - and it's alway's hot/ hot and drives me nut's.

Just wondering if I rob a heat sink off a old board, or a power transistor and slap it on with heat sink compound if I will get any results or could it just get worse ??

I got the gyro mounted up front, hate to relocate, and my gain's are pretty modest to low .

How hot is too hot ??

Mine never got hot when I was running them. There might be something wrong. Is you tail setup smooth as silk when disconnected from the servo? I don't think a heat sink is gonna solve your problem since the case of the servo is plastic. Shouldn't be getting that hot in the first place. I would send it in before you have a tail failure.

My 9254 got real hot last week and started to act erratically. I sent it back to Futaba for repair. A few guys told be the 9254 was not great in a heavy gasser so I put in a Logictech 6100 combo to try out.One mile of road will take you one mile. One mile of runway will take you anywhere in the world.

Ok - I'll bend

What's a good FUT ?? Poor little guy - hate to retire it - Heck it came with the gyro ???

Suppose it's the over load being applied by that two bladed thinging in the rear ??

Ra I know your a JR guy, but what's the current flavor in FUT ??greyeagle

BLS251 is what I used on the Maxum.
Never even got warm, excellent servo.
But if your using a 401 its not compatable.
Im pretty sure Futaba have released a BLS version of the 9254, oddly enough called the BLS254

For the love of the hobby
