Default RE: Great Planes Reactor in Flight Elevator Failure on First Flight

Art, you seem to know what you are talking about, and I am not trying to start a fight. But, if the servo had damage to the gears, don't you feel there was a problem somewhere else? Maybe the linkage had slop or the gap was to big? If this was a no name company I would not think twice about it. But surely Great Planes did some extensive flight test on this plane before release. I would hate to see a plane get a bad name because of a problem elsewhere. Is this your first 3D style plane? Again not trying to insult you but we should all be carefull about blaming the airframe.
