One thing to try/test to reduce the chance of the flap deployment issue occurring is to move the L-bend of the control rod to an inner hole on the servo arm (closer to the arm center screw) of the servo to achieve better torque from the servo. This will be at the expense of servo throw, but if you can achieve enough servo throw for the flap positions you want by using an inner hole on the servo arm, then an outer isn’t necessary or beneficial if you’re wanting to prioritize torque. It’s been a while since I’ve owned the Freewing F/A-18C, so I can’t remember which servo arm hole I used on the flaps for the linkage. However, then again, the flap issue could simply be from the stock servo not being strong enough for the job. It’s still worth a try .
It’s likely been discussed, but I haven’t kept up on this thread at all. If so, my apologies. I remember a discussion long ago about keeping the flap deployment speed in the radio to a reasonable amount because if too slow it could cause issues. I always had mine on 2 seconds or less and didn’t have an issue, thankfully.
