Default RE: ElectroStik Conversion to Glow

A while back I swapped out the .40 LA for a TT Pro .46. She was a screemer with unlimited vertical.

Unfortunatly this Saturday I was really flying her hard at WOT making very tight pylon raceing, full banked turns. Towords the end of the fuel tank the elevator servo started to go out. I cut the throttle way down and attempted to come around for a landing. On the last turn into final the elevator servo totally stripped out. I straightened her out but she slowly sank into the farmers field (past end of runway) doing a cartwheel upon hitting the ground.

Although not a total waste I am not planning on fixing her. I have another more approiate plane I'm looking at to house the TT Pro .46

If anyone attempts this conversion, totally cutout the servo bay and make a new servo plate, one that will hold full size servos. (hind sight is 20/20)<br type="_moz" />
