Hi everyone,

I have a 130x and that I actually am planning on selling, but am having an issue I'd like to try and figure out. When on the ground with no throttle the tail servo responds fine. When I give it throttle and use the rudder the tail servo will throw in the direction I intend but then "stick" there. It will then stay there until I give opposite rudder. This happened after I had to rebuild because of a broken main frame and tail boom. I have read that this could be an issue with the board but I'm wondering if I'm missing something else. Im not completely confident in my ability to properly rebuild it so I'm wondering if there is anything I could have messed up. Any ideas?

Have you looked at it when it is stuck it could possibly be sticking and you might need to take servo apart and clean it. I have had mine get gummed up and dirty enough they get really jerky or stick. just a thought

Ok just so I'm clear when does the servo act up when in the air flying or when still on the ground?

I have no tail control, I cant get it in the air. If sitting on the ground with no throttle the servo responds fine. When given throttle is when it acts up.

After some messing with it I have it figured out... looks like I had the servo a bit too far back on the tail. Also.. forgot how much power this thing has.
