I was doing a four point roll and the airplane never came out of the third point. Everything seemed to work fine on the bench, but I discovered that, if I moved the aileron servo in small increments, it would get to a "bad" point and the whole system would freeze up and fail to function. If I moved the servo off that "bad" point manually, the system worked fine.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ron Van Putte<BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BLOCKQUOTE style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; ">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR style="">From: Ron Van Putte <<A href="mailto:vanputte@cox.net">vanputte@cox.net</A>> <BR style=""><BR style=""><DIV style=""><DIV style="">On Aug 6, 2006, at 9:50 PM, <A href="mailto:vicenterc@comcast.net">vicenterc@comcast.net</A> wrote:</DIV><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="">The battery was a little over a year old.
