Help appreciated,

I've been using a direct horn for over a year now, both indoors and out. Not done a single servo (S9550) and I've had some big hits (one split the chassis plate, and sheared the servo mount screw... servo was fine though!).

I do use a plastic one though (it's a futaba X horn cut down), so it has a bit more give anyway, and will snap in a major impact.

Tried a saver on my 416 recently, didn't like it so went back to the solid horn. My main issue was getting the setting to center to the same position consistenly... switched back to the solid, no issue
