I had to reglue my servo after I was getting full pitch down and less than half pitch up, when I checked why, I found one of the servos had broken free at one side. All good until a few flights later I found I could get a good left turn but it struggled to turn right, when I checked, the other servo had broken free at one end After some 15 minute epoxy resin, all's well and it flies great again. Worth checking. I didn't have any probs with my battery box initially but after a few crashes had to reglue that too

I second that!! I had trouble flaring. It would just nose in and after looking my servos hadn't broke free but they would move back and forth in the glue that was holding them.

mine did that awhile ago, took off and started to turn right, looked at the trim and it was fine. just barley got it back and found that the back of the servo came free. all better now though after some glue.

this is just a related bit of info on servos in case there are any newbs like myself - when my sc arrived, one of the first things I proceeded to do after assembly and charge was to check the trim
upon doing so, I found that I had to move the transmitter's rudder slider all the way to the right just to center the rudder - the reason for this was that the factory installed servo arm was about two clicks off from where it should be
with transmitter turned ON and trim sliders centered...I removed the wing, loosened the screw on the servo, reset the servo arm, then momentarily connected to the plane's battery to see where the rudder ended up after the servos rebalanced themselves
once I was satisfied that the rudder (and elevator) were as close to center as possible, I reinstalled the wing and I was good to go - now the plane has max trim range available in all directions
this is all probably common sense info, but like I said, I wanted to post this in case any newbies encounter the same thing

Also note that your connecting rods are threaded and can be adjusted in or out by simply turning them in or out...
