Elevator binds really bad...
Hi You Guys!
I've dusted off my old FunScale 40 size Mustang. It's been in the hangar for about 10 years. Everything seems OK except that the elevator binds really bad. I don't think that the bind is happening at the hinges but rather in the torque rod area.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Disconnect your push rod at the elevator and move the elevator by hand. If the elevator moves freely, pull your push rod out of the torque tube (if it is in one ) and check the torque tube and push rod for corrosion.
If the push rod is not in a torque tube, chances are it is the servo.
