Default Aerobird tips and stuff

Originally posted by Crash_Airlines
Greetings all! I recently purchased an Aerobird. I've learned a lot from reading a lot of your posts. I had one question though I couldn't find an answer on when doing various searches in the forum. So sorry if it's a repeat. I stretched one pull-line slightly near the tail wing when making an adjustment to make the wing more responsive. It still seems sturdy enough, but it's got me a little leery. Would the entire line have to be replaced, or is there an easier solution? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Welcome to the world of the Aerobird. You are in for a great time!

If this is your first plane you will find plenty of good information on care and feeding of your Aerobird and how to tend its wounds when you hurt it. Check the various threads here and at www.flightlines.com, www.********.com, www.rcgroups.com, www.rcairport.com and others.

As far as a stretched line, I am not sure what you mean. This is monomiliment fishing line. I can't imagine what you could have done to over stretch it without damaging the servos inside.

What behavior is the bird showing that concerns you?

If you did have to replace it, you would need to replace the whole thing. You would need to remove the control board to do that. Here is a photo of the control board with the servos facing up.
