<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> .You didn't say what kind of servos.If you
are using JR digital servos with the metric screws holding the servo arm
on,you need to use locktight (blue) on the screw and tighten it good.I had one
come off the aileron and it cost me a plane.</FONT></DIV>

day.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Finally had some good weather to go flying,
today.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Blue Skies, wind calm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Had a malfunction that almost costed me my $3000 dollar
plane. Okay I was in the middle of the Intermediate pattern. And
suddenly I noticed that it was rolling extremely slower than it was when I
started the pattern.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So I told Uncle Mike,that I was gonna go ahead and bring it
on in. So turned around came in for a approach and got a little slow and
the that one aileron really wasn't working well going that slow. So I
chopped the throttle and set her down in the grass. And so the mud
caught it and made the nose dig into the mud. (Globs of it were on
the plane).. RAN there to see what the problem was. To find that
my screw came off of the left control rod on the left aileron and absolutely
detached the rod from the servo leaving the aileron just dangling in the
wind.... Brought it in cleaned it up got a new screw and tightened it as
tight as I could get it. And went ahead and flew one more
time. No problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Like I said it was better to get mud all over the airplane
than to have it in pieces. So I saved the day. Very
happy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If anyone has any thoughts about controlling the vibrations
on the rod please tell me your secrets. thanks</FONT></DIV>
