Using a transistor to drive a servo.

ThatGuy007:
Why wouldn't it function? With the collector at 11v and the base at 5v, the emitter should put out approximately 4.3v. I would think the servo would be seen as a variable resistance, depending on how much current it draws, making the circuit as a whole a common emitter with emitter degeneration amplifier. Upon doing more research i've found that it would be dissipating a lot of heat, depending on current draw. What exactly is the flaw with function here?

Draw and post a schematic of what you are proposing so we may better understand.
