I don't think the whole "half power after 30 seconds" makes much sense. It has to be more than that.
Because I want to find out what it does/the point of it and didn't want to make a new thread just for someone to link me to this one :P

Most of the time this happens when you set everything straight, and then when you get on the track you adjust your trim, then that throws your endpoint off again.
So it when the angle of the servo doesn't change rather than the load governing it? Meaning it prevents it from from overheating after a while?
