Default Elevator Servo Failed in Flight
I had an elevator servo fail today in flight while I was recording. The heli was acting a little weird, then it crashed inverted and shortly after take-off the servo locked up and I had to hit throttle hold to get it down. While testing the servo it smoked. Too bad the hat cam is aimed too high to pick that part up.

I have no idea, but I flew it almost daily for most of a year. Then I began alternating between 2 BLs. Certainly hundreds; this is the 3rd servo to fail in 2 BLs. I hope the 3n1 is OK.

I'm sure he can, but it just came back from him a few weeks ago. The failure isn't his fault, I REALLY pasted it in. It was an exceedingly dumb move.
