So.......there I was, flying about 2 feet off the ground, when it suddenly didn't respond to aeileron input from my DX7. I thought maybe a ball link had come off, so I quickly landed and hit the TH. By the way.......it's a T-Rex 450 SE with all 65MG's on the swash.
So anyway, after further investigation. I saw that the aeileron servo wasn't working. It apparently just quit! Very strange, as I was just flying it a few minutes before, and all seemed well.
Any ideas as to why it would just quit like that? I don't intend to send it in to Hitec for repair because the shipping costs and everything else is just too prohibitive. I'm just curious as to why it would just up and quit like that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

I would take a look at the wires from end to end. They may have broken off inside. If you are going to replace it,just buy the regular gear one, and swap gears, save you about $15 I believe.
