Well one of my stock servos lasted 2 batteries, then went wacko and shoved the swash way up on the back left causing it to nose in as I went to take off (not stripped gears, something else again). LHS are going to replace the servo and sounds like will ship me a new set of blades and feathering shaft. But in the mean time I am grounded.

I am looking at some Hitec HS-65s for the cyclic and was looking at the JR DS285 for the tail. The tail servo I am looking at is not the most recommended one by far, but I cant justify spending the amounts others are.

I also have my DR set to 80% and the expo set to 30% tame it down while I try to get it all balanced out. Not having a lot of luck with dud servos!
