Hi, as the title says, I have these 2 items.

When I first bound them together they worked fine. Unplugged the battery and then plugged it back in again, only this time no rudder control.

On about the 4th try at doing this, rudder control came back, then it went.

I tried to re bind, and it all worked fine, then it stopped after I unplugged the battery out then back in again.

In case it was the transmitter, I swapped the alierons and rudders over on the RX. I could control the alierons fine with the rudder stick, but not the rudder with the alierons.

Because I brought both of these items at the same time, I don't have a working benchmark to compare to, and I also don't have any other models to test the electronics out in.

Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Yeah I'm unplugging the bind plug, cheers.

When moving the rudder servo by hand, it does seem quite firm to move compared to the others, do you think this could be a sign of a bad servo, like what has been mentioned?

Thanks.

Sounds like one..

If the other servo works fine . .

New or Second hand ?

They were both brand new, only got them the other day.

I think the rudder has worked about 4 times so far, all the other surfaces and the motor work fine.

What do you all sujest would be the best course of action?

Local hobby store bring it back... or ring the store...

Im really hoping that the model shop will be able to help me, as on their website it says to call them about any faulty items by 1pm the next day, but I only discovered this fault today, which is about 2 days after I received it.

I hope they don't feed me a load of nonsense.

I'll keep you all posted, in case anyone is interested.

I brought in from Kings Lynn Model Shop.

I'll have to ring them tomorrow now, as its a bit late.

I'm pretty sure it is the servo that was shipped faulty or out right broken.

All the other servos work in all the other slots on the RX using any and all TX inputs, all except for the rudder servo.

Also, the other servos make a slight noise when you try and move the control surface away from center, as they try and re-center it. But the rudder servo makes no noise, and doesn't try to re-center its self.

This is really anoying, as I wanted to fly this, my first 4 channel warbird, on the weekend for my birthday.
