RCModelAirplanes

Hello everyone. I bought a Christian Eagle RC airplane, put it all together just fine, but now the rudder won't work. I tried changing the wires, and just about every thing else possible, but it still won't work. Any ideas or help would be appreciated, thanks

Well its a Christen Eagle to start with. When you say you have changed the wires, what wires are you talking about? Have you tried putting a working servo in the rudder position? The more details you give us the easier it might be to figure out how to help you.

does the servo move with out the rudder linkage connected?does the rudder move when you push or pull on the linkage?

Well, the first thing you need to do is isolate where your problem is. If everything is on and the rudder servo will not move then you could have an issue with the transmitter, receiver, or the rudder servo. Unplug the rudder servo from the receiver and plug a known working servo into the rudder channel on the receiver and see if that servo will move when you move the ruder stick. If it does then you have a bad rudder servo and need to simply replace the bad servo. If it will not move then you have a problem with either the receirver and/or the transmitter. You'll need to send the transmitter and reciever in to a service center to have them diagnose fix the problem. If this is all still new make sure you check and get the work done under warrenty, or have them replace it for you.

Hopefully the rudder swings freely when disconnected from everything????
