Well that all went down the tubes today.
Hook up the battery this PM and the elevator will not work. Hummm.
Disconnect batt and look inside to see the battery wire is under elevator servo out put gear. No biggie should slide right back out.
WRONG, guess where the wipers for the POT are? That's right! Exactly where the wire is hung up so if you do get the wire out you kill the wiper arms!

All due to an internal wire location, This is the only fault I have found with this airplane.

Numerous members in my local club have purchased this plane this month. While they look and fly great All suffered elevator failure in 3-5 flights. Clearly a redesign is called for before anyone considers getting one of these in my opinion.
