Hello everyone
Had anyone had luck removing a flap servo without wrecking the surrounding foam. Or any tips? One of my flap servos center point is noticeably different from the other, I’d like to keep using the board rather than plus in one separate servo on the Rx, so I’v currently put a mix in. But I’d like to get it out and re centre the horn.

If I really need to remove a servo because it has failed, I run a hobby knife around the edges (avoiding the leads) and I hook a paint can opener under the body of the servo and pull it out. The adhesive is kind of gummy and will give fairly easily.

I would of thought it’s 2 or three cogs out. Factory worker must of been tired that day. We all make mistake. That’s the issue mate one flap is a few MM lower than the other, with an aileron mix it’s not shocking but it’s not right. Thank for the pointers I will have a look at points mentioned. Good idea about the screwdriver. Another advantage of foam I suppose 😂 Many thanks.

And can I paint the tinted canopy without much difference in the shade of the blue or should I get the clear canopy and paint that?

You don’t necessarily have to remove the servo you can cut a deep V that allows you to have access to the screw and then you glue the triangle back in I’ve had to do that on my Avanti
thanks mate I’v done it and glued it back in nicely, you’d almost never know. 👍👍
