Have you tried cleaning that servo? May be the rake style potentiometer fingers are just dirty or bent too far in after crashes or just usage... And it's causing that.

Fly safe!! have fun!

I concur..... strip the servo and clean it with contact cleaner. blow with an air gun to evaporate it all off

Take the canopy off, and there are 4 screws per servo that you will need to take off. Either use the electronics cleaner, or use some alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the servos. Just make sure to go lightly when you are putting it back together. The screws can strip out really easy.

Before you strip it down, look at the gears of the servo. I had a grain of sand get stuck in the teeth and stopped the servo from working.

Good point Lee. I actually had some loose hair that it picked up off the floor that was causing the elevator to bind up.

So what was it? sand particle or just the servo cleaning? Post it up so it helps others too

 

[gas man]

it was a small bit/ball of fluff wedged round the botton near the small cog on the servo.

we have wood flooring through the whole house so its really dusty,


thx again
