I'm using the actuators for dive planes and rudders. I'm not too concerned
with the props trying to push the motors in any particular direction. Mostly I'm
thinking about crashing into stuff and I want the actuators to be able to
withstand that force.
The linkages between the actuators and components have "shear pins" of
brass so if a big enough impact occurs, the pin will let go first before the
motors are damaged.
I've heard of guys using olive oil for compensating. Mostly for pollution
concerns.
