Thanks.  i still went out with my friend this morning- he's got a bit more eperience with R/C flying than I do so I figured he might be able to help me troubleshoot...  The only thing he can think of is the servo is bad.  There's still power going to it, it just doesn't move...even after switing up the connections on the Y-fitting to the reciever i get the same input.  Since I've only had the model for 18 days i should be able to warranty it out and get a replacement. 

Too bad.  I really wanted to fly this morning.  It was PERFECT weather too.</p>
