    Geometry and Elevator throw error

    I'm using a matchbox because that was the last thing I did when trying to figure why my servos were not working - found out it was my battery! I may try that...not nothing else to lose:)   Test flight went 'sort-of' well....I felt it was tail heavy another said it was nose heavy......one...

    +1 on that!  I am very impressed with their service department and their willingness to replace rather than repair a (crash) damaged servo!
