Hi Guys,

Can you point me in the right direction?
I have a newly built Align 550X with only six flights on it.
Today, when I armed the model, the elevator servo stuck at full travel upwards.
Moving the transmitter sticks made no difference. A nudge with my finger returned normal behavior.
I re-armed and the servo stuck again.
Once unstuck it will not stick again in reaction to any tx stick input.
My thinking is a faulty servo but I need to ask-
Has anyone experienced this issue? Could it be the Spirit? or am I looking at a new servo?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

I recommend to swap servos (just connectors in the unit).
If elevator servo will be doing same thing in other port, then it is very likely faulty.

Another possible issue is some low voltage during power up. But I fear it will be just the servo issue.
