I'm curious what you're hearing as I have the same setup as you basically and have had no problems. I DID have the loose stab tube issue, but I fixed it with some modification to the tube itself. I may end up gluing in the tube once I'm done trimming the airplane.

I wonder if the noise you're hearing is the result of a motor timing issue with the controller?
I actually glued the stab to the fuse, servo and all. Like I said, one more problem and it's wood chipper time, the guys are ready to rent one for me, ha ha my friends...


If it's the timing, I'm assuming there is nothing I can do to change that. I have one guy that flies at my field who knows a lot more about this than me and maybe I can take my laptop and have him look at my settings. My brake is set at 30%, and I don't know what any of the other settings mean so I didn't change any of them.

Chris, you are right, Mile square is a golf course now. I guess that makes me a traitor. I'm planning to go to the Riverside contest on the 16th and 17th, maybe I'll see you there. My field will re-open on the 11th, we are getting the pits petromatted and the runway re-sealed, so I'll have a few days to practice. If you have a day during that week and want to come over, you could be my guest, in the afternoon there might be 2 or three of us and we take turns letting one guy fly at a tme.
