Yeah in the up position everything is lined up all the links are in the same holes, like I said the left servo has more throw than the right servo does, this is driving me batty trying to figure it out. If I don't go beyond 25% on my flaps they stay the same beyond 25% they become out of sink and the left travels faster and more than the right one. I have my flaps on a dial also tried them on a switch same issue.

I made this video for MRC to see what I am experiencing, looks like I will be waiting for a new servo.

Yeah for sure Lauren way better than catching it in the air and doing an unexpected roll, I don't know if I could have recovered because of how slow the retracts move. Would have had my hands full for sure! Thing is I do not know what servo is the culprit I hate trial and error, maybe they will send me both just to make sure. I don't know.

I kind of think it is the one that is going too far because when it gets to the end of the travel it's a bunch further than mine goes. Just a guess by a blond woman though.... LOL!

Wow that's really tuff luck and hard to watch. Hopefully you are able to figure out what happened so you can save someone else the heartache of going through the same thing.

I lost signal, I think that I got too close to the police/ sheriff relay antenna and got over powered. I am not sure of the frequency but the cops, and fire/ rescue out here are running their communications on GHz not FM, or UHF.

On another note, my fuselage is in one piece again! Have to love gorilla epoxy it worked great I also epoxied a couple bbq skewers into the fuse for added strength where the break is. I should have my parts from motion tomorrow. Speaking about Motion, I never got my flap servo... interesting.

I cut the wing tips off of my broken wings and epoxied them to the wings I had that had scuffed tips. My snoots is starting to come back together just fine.

Hello Sean,
Just gotta ask the question before I get all excited about this etract mod.
I have not seen any posts by you where you have installed this on your bird and proven the design as a viable fix.
Have I missed that somewhere?
