The Avistar was a great first plane for me. It flies straight as an arrow, and handles like a dream. Its really stable and floats in nice and slow. The best thing about it was that it would also let you do some basic aerobatics.

Alright, so I was flying this saturday, and for the second straight week my Throttle servo died. No clue why. They have both been Futaba S3003s. Last week I had a spare and put it in and went back up. This week I didnt have a spare. The rest of my servos are 3004s, but i figured the 3003 would be ok on the throttle.

Both times it caused a dead stick landing. I dont know if it is getting locked in position somehow and this is causing the servo to burn out when i try and move the throtte, dont see any binding when its open. I do have a 6V receiver battery. Two throttle servos in two weeks is just kind of strange. Just glad it was the throttle and not something that would cause a nasty death spin.
