Do not do like me and route your collective servo wires unterneath the servo on a fury extreme. I got a couple of bad glitches and managed to get it down. After further inspection i noticed all of the anodizing had rubbed of of the clutch bell. The servo wire had managed to move down and had gotten burned by the bell.

yep I was a witness to this incident. it was just doing a very intermitten glitch/lockout. it did it once or twice during a flight. we range checked it and it was more than adequate. next up was the antenna position. we took off of the canopy and started looking around and john noticed the clutch bell had worn in a strip. looking around, we noticed a servo wire in its area. after seeing it was worn some we pulled the servo out and saw how bad it was and how lucky john was. it had worn thru the protector wrap and had started wearing thru the wiring itself. luckiny it had only gotten thru the insulation and not cut thru the wire.
unfortunatly, when we seen to get together to fly, something goes wrong with one of our birds. I guess ole john boy is just bad luck :twisted: :mrgreen:
