| Yes, vibration is hard on servos. I haven't had a failure myself, but I would stake a guess that extreme or prolonged heavy vibration damages the small circuit board inside the gyro.
No, you don't need to get a different gyro. There are only two limitations with gyro-servo combinations: (1) if you have a gyro with a digital/standard switch, it must be in the standard position if you are using a non-digital servo, and (2) the GY601 has a special servo designed specifically for use with it, and that servo should not be used in any other application or with any other gyro. It's fine to use a digital or standard servo with a gyro that cannot provide a digital signal. |
But when I started to check things out I found that the tail rotor servo would not move. I checked out the reciever thinking that maybe that was the problem but found that it worked with another servo.
