question about servos

[Kindling Maker]

I was cheching my swash plate and blade pitch. Well I found out that when I pull the collective all the way back, the servo starts skipping, with the TCM switch in the up position. With it in the down position it does not do it, but when I pull the right control back it starts doing it. Please tell he that it is not a bad servo, and that i can adjust it out. but the swash plate is level and the blades look like they are at 0 pitch at 50% throttle. And my tail booms came in today, I hope to be flying again really soon.

It sounds like your servo has been stripped. Check it by disconnecting the swash-link and manually move the servo arm. If it still skips it probablly missing a tooth and it may need to be replaced.

It is a servo, there goes anthoer week of waiting on parts.

Suxs. Yeah, I just replaced one of my servos last week. It cost me about 18 bucks at the LHS. It wasn't missing any teeth but somehow it died. I think it locked up when it went nosed in because one of the other servos came loose.

Lessoned Learned: make sure your servos are well secured with zip ties.

Buy gear sets in groups of 3 at a time, helps with the week long waiting.

Yea I know I ordered my CX a week ago and I ordered some heat sinks and stuff like that later that day. Well all my other parts are here,,,,, But I still dont have the CX that they go on what a bummer. I have not gotten air under anything in over a week, our other Cx took about a 30 fall and bent the shafts so we dont even have that to fly. and both the CPPs are down one for a servo and one for a tail boom. Nothing to fly, what a bummer.
