I agree with you about the connectors. This is the only plane I have them in and I think they just wore out their welcome. As per my original post it has become apparent that my faithful trainer is in need of some TLC. The one thing about this plane that sucks is the radio compartment. It is quite small so getting in and work on the linkages is difficult at best. I am going to be upgrading servos soon so I am also going to need to change out the linkages as well. I need to look around and find something better that is for sure.
