Micro Blade 130S servo problem.

[Rob Lancaster]

Hi guys,
Lately when I'm flying my Blade 130S, I find myself fighting the elevator. I set the trim and it still starts to drift forward and backwards. Any ideas as to what the problem is?
Thanks....

Hi Rob, Question is the elevator servo set up correctly? Do you have equal throw on the servo arm and is it 90 degrees to the swash plate? I would use your sub trim as a final step ensuring the elevator is balance. Best regards, Jim

Hi James,
Well, I left out a few details of the situation.
Actually, I did run the chopper into the bottom of my chair here. Suddenly it veered back at me at inches off the ground. (Nose out) I dumped the HOLD switch quick so I don't trim my toe nails. But she did hit the lower chair structure. DOH!! ......

After that, the servo was freak'n out so I shut down.
I removed it and reset that li'll white gear and she booted right back up. She flew but the servo drifts madly forward and backwards. Here a snap of the servo. It's one of those slider things. Spektrum RC 2.9 Gram SH2045L Linear Long Throw Servo (130 S) [SPMSH2045L]

I've been there also, that's why I have metal gears in all my birds.
