i already have quite a bit of expo on elev.. besides if i truly have a servo problem that would only servo to mask i or hide it...sort of a band aide fix if u will.after some thought i think i need to watch the servo horn and not the elev itself.. while the control surface appears to be moving quite a bit the amount of servo out put movement may be pretty slight. im pretty sure my connectors are gold plated. i will try cleaning the connection and see if that helps.. i can also sub in an a123. pack temporarily and see if that helps. if it does i wil change over to life or a123. packs.. if none of these ideas work i think i will glue the stab in a fixed position....that will for solve it and seems more effective than binding up the surface with a velcro patch.. out of town till late this eve. will try tonight or in the morning.
