I cycled my servos for about 5 minutes. My question is, one of the flap servos was just noticeably warm compared to all other servos. Not hot, but there was a slight warmth compared to all others...
Should I be concerned about this and ask for a replacement, or go with it since it is on the flaps and not a main control surface servo???
This is the first plane I have done this on so not sure where you draw the line here...
Thanks...

Mine went together quick and easy last night, just like everyone else has said. No issues at all. Also figured out where those plastic pieces went before reading the posts here. It's all set up and ready to go, will get decals on tonight (going with the Navy scheme). Here's a pic of my RoaringTop 6S 5800 35C installed. CG is at 195mm, measured with wheels up, no ordnance, no hump, per the revised manual. Maiden on Saturday!1 PhotoPat

Pat,
That's great. Thanks for posting the pic. I'll be reedy with my RT 5800. Also may try a RT 5000 with a high C rating. The hump has really grown on me. I didn't like it at first but now I do.. I'll be humping. The drop tanks are HUGE! Was hoping to see more air to air missiles Probably won't fly with the drop tanks unless I can drop them . Magnet on / Magnet off

Or did it over-rotate as if the main gear are too close to the CG and rock back on its tail, breaking off the aft fuse? Mines still on the stupid brown truck.

Some A-4 mods and tips...
The Freewing A-10 nose wheels are 70mm compared to the stock 65mm ones, these are much better looking.
I just didn't like the look with both tanks on so...
I squeezed the end of the fueling tube so it would fit snug in the fuse...
The tail hook shouldn't be glues in like the instructions recommend because it would be in the way of the fan access panel screws and there's already a place to put screws in it...
Blacked out the exhaust...

Mine is here but doubt it will fly this weekend. Hoping Irma goes way to the east and not up the middle of the state.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w
