Holy chuff, Batman! I truly do feel for you, as I broke my SC in half on Thursday, and that was caused by lack of control!

Worst part seems to be the moment when nothing responds as it should.  Sorry to hear the news. Hey, I have had a few times when my elevator just would not respond just to find out there was a tiny twig wedged between the elevator control area and the static part of the elevator. I guess it was from a previous landing and and did not notice the little bastard. May have been your servo though. Since the twig has happened to me twice, I have the sneaky suspicion that others must have encountered the same. She'll be flying again soon. Makes a good raining day project. |

Hey, paulie, where are you in the UK that you are able to fly at present?
Poxy wind just won't stop blowing down here in the south. Plus, of course, the rain . . .

OK, good luck paulie. We often get strong / gusty winds. Living near the sea is a mixed blessing!
