In addition I have changed the servos, one on each stab., to the highly impressive Futaba HPS a700 and eliminated all slop in the control rods. These are very powerful servos with a very “tight” gear train which should make the whole setup highly resistant to flutter, which can be so quickly destructive. .I was lucky not to lose the Mig.

Interesting, I though a wille ago of running just one servo on the stabs... any one else doing that?
