Default RE: Flyzone Albatros

With pictures this time.
Pictures are from after repair so no quite as nice.

There was no hope for the servo. After working with it and swapping out servo motor and checking and tweeking the wipers it was finaly determined that the board had a problem. Apparently something burned out from the load of the hung up servo while looking for cause.
Never had battery connected over 10 seconds during checks.

Ok Robbed the Parkzone Cessna from one of my scratch builds and proceeded to install it in the Albatross.
This thing flies so nice that I am determined to fly it tomorrow AM.

Both push rods had to be located in same exit hole and for the less travel of the PZ servo the PZ control horn had to be installed also.

Once it was all back together and bench tested I relized how noisy and jerky the PZ stuff is.

The Flyzone radio servos are silent and smooth.

CONGRATULATIONS FLYZONE THIS MAY BE THE BEST UNDER $100 MICRO AIRPLANE ON THE MARKET!
Out of 8 Micro ARF this has been the best and most fun to fly. Easy to fly as well.
PLEASE cure the wire problem quick!

Enough running of the mouth, Picture time.
