Status: offline 		Hi There,

I have been running a 5245 on my throttle for quite a long time, and when I powered the plane up to take a flight today, it just quit working. Very weird. Its like the servo was getting no power as you could move the arm freely. I tried it in a few different channels to no avail. So When i got home I hooked it up to the programmer to see if i could get it to move via the programmer. No go. then I reset the servo and it started working great once again. So while it works, it does concern me...

What could cause this? Will it happen again? Should I send it in?

It was very cold while flying it today (about 25 degrees F, so would this have anything to do with it?). Please let me know. Thanks!

Adam
