This is something I learned about this some 35 years ago... But is it true??
Old guys (back in the mid 80's) would talk about this, most were old fliers that moved to the ground.. Wise old guys would say "Don't work your servo's by hand, you could fry your RX". Are they right, do they know more than us younger kids (20's), What do they know???? Lets find out....
And as I work on my TT-02 Type SR, and with new tech with RX's (receivers), I think I found out a bit more about this "Myth".. It's one of those things you hear about but think, Nah, it will be fine...
As a rule, I try not to work a servo by hand unless its not plugged into an RX, other times I forget and do it... Sometimes I see people work the tires back & forth like it's their job...
Bottom line..... It does feed some voltage back to the RX, but is it enough to harm it??? Maybe a test for the more electronically smart person to test...
Thanks For Watching
