The servo work when plugged into my servo tester.
OK, I am going to ask some question. Just put up with them if you please.

I see you tested with a servo tester but did you test the new servo plugged into the receiver?

Did you try the original servo plugged directly into a receiver slot?

I presume there is a Y cable between rudder and tail steering, otherwise how would the tail servo work. Have you tested that Y cable? On both paths?

I suspect the Y cable is the issue. Either it is defective or it is not plugged in properly.

I can't get an answer from General Hobby.

Any Ideas??????


Thanks, Tom
