    Loss of a servo

    Lost the elevator servo while I was coming in to land . Luckily only bent the gear struts . Noticed earlier seemed a little off but wasn't sure what it was .

    Well that was a weird one huh?? Glad it happened when landing rather than up high Bry.... Odd place to fail though when there was the least stress. Did it fail with broken gears or the motor?

      I was having some odd response in the air so I believe when I was doing up as it got close it just gave out there . I feel very lucky , my luck is most times on the bad side . It was the gears that striped out .
