nanc,
Welcome to what we call the PZ Zone. You will soon come to find that the Pz servos are notorious for failing. What you have run into, at least, is a set of stripped gears inside the servo. Check Horizon's web site, you can purchase new gearpacks or servos. Or try your local hobby shop. The electricals are pretty much the low end of quality, but also low priced.
That's how they can sell a complete unit so cheap. Also the Pz equipment is not interchangeable with regular stuff. You'll have to stick with the Pz stuff until you get some flights under your belt and get comfortable with flying. Then if money allows, switch out all the elecs for standard equipment. Your bird will fly better.
And a quick couple of notes on the stock Slo-V. Use the 7 cell battery packs, will give you a little more power. And don't fly in any kind of winds. If you can,fly it early morning or at sunset when the winds are their lowest. Welcome to the hobby, you'll soon find out it will become an addiction.
