Default Parkzone Vapor HELP!

I got a question about my little parkzone vapor..

on my receiver my rudder servo would only go to the right... you can hear it go to the left about a millimeter but no more then that...

So I sent it in to parkzone and they sent me a new vapor brick receiver. SAME THING!?!? very confused what can I do to fix this! if it's the transmitter what do I do to get in there and fix it

Check the pushrod where the heat shrink tube is. We had one doing the same thing and the push rod was sliding inside the heat shrink. Would turn one way but not the other. Center it and then shrink the tube some more and see if that works. Good luck

BTW I have a fordpowered 38.

Goirish.. nope thats not it... even if I take the pushrod out of the servo the servo moves to the left about a millimeter... doesn't make any sense to me might just take the plunge and get a dx5 or 6 so I can buy more pnp's anyways

and CHEVYPOWER!
haha just kidding any pictures of it?

Hey get the DX-6i that way you can use in on any plane. I am using the DX-7. Probably overkill for the vapor, but then I fly my 1/4 scale clipped with cub with a gas engine. Have to look and see if I have any pictures of the beast, 37,000 miles on it. Still all original. Look like Bonnie and Clyde going down the back roads.

haha man sounds great (the '38)

And yeah I guess I gotta take that plunge! I'm a 72 guy but all the little micros look so fun (the new micro 4 site especially)

Glad to hear that. Now take a 3' piece of toilet tissue, put on the back like a streamer and have the other guys do the same. Now you have combat with the vapor-funny. Try it, it is hard.

I had this same problem, and determined that it was the right TX stick that was broken. If you have another DSM2 TX to bind it to you should be OK.

*edit*
Duh... Followed the link and it worked for me too! Thanks!
