Okay, lastnight I was checking the clearance on my Blade CP head and my new AS350 body. When I spooled it up it acted funny and when I dropped the throttle the whole thing was twitching and the green light on the 4-in-1 was flickering with the twitch. So, I assumed there was some interfearance somewhere. No matter where I went in the house it was the same thing, if I unpluged the battery and reset the 4-in-1 everything was okay untill I spooled up again. Okay. so I put it away for the night and tried it again this morning, all seemed fine untill I picked it up to put it on the shelf and I noticed the front servo was very hot to the touch, so I checked it out closer and that servo isnt moving at all when I move the sticks, it just gets hot. I didnt see anything in the way to prevent movement of the servo horn.
Does this mean my servo went south?
What would cause it to up and die?
would the twitching I had lastnight be part of it?

thanks
Scott

does anyone know if this is a direct replacement for the Eflite cp servo?

it's cheaper here

looks like it has pretty much the same specs

the only thing I would not know is if it rotates the same way or the opposite way. If it turns the opposite way, you'll have to open it up and move some of the wires around by soldering.

The differences are the esky weights .5g more and also provides an extra .8oz/in of torque and it is not quite as tall. .82" on the esky and .94" on the s75

okay, the LHS had the e-flite's for $16 so I got it, now, whats the easiest way to remove the old one and the double stick tape?? [sm=confused.gif]

I would just pull it out and then use some goo gone, and cut the zip tie first.

Okay, old sevro out, new one in and it works fine, now I gotta finish the "scale" build and get everything set up correctly......

(then probably crash and smash the body to pieces..)

lol yeah... I would be careful if this is your first heli, because a crash will mash it into bits. You might want to just learn how to fly and then install the body =)

Good luck!

yeah, this is my first heli, but I do fly my dad's CX a lot (I know they are completely different animals). I can hover the CP in an open space but anything tighter then about 10ft square and I'm a danger to life and limb.
