Servo trouble
Hello all... New to the forum and hobby, unfortunately this will be my first post here.
I purchased the P-51 PTS. Did maiden flight today with no problems at all. Went to do second flight this afternoon and ran into the following problem:
When I switch the receiver on, the elevator travels to the full up position and basically "quivers". I have no control when it does this. If I cycle the power to tx and rx a few times, it will return to normal. But it will eventually do it again. This would have been disaster if we would have been in the air.
I have put the elevator servo on the rudder channel, and it does the same thing. This leads me to believe it is the servo.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mitchell

RE: Servo trouble
That does sound like a servo problem, I would recommend sending it in for service.
