Hi there,
I live in Minnesota and have spent the past couple days clearing off a runway on the frozen lake near my house. I flew once two days ago and things went fine, it was about 20 degrees out. However I flew yesterday and it was far colder, about 7 degrees, I don't mind the cold and know how to stay warm, but my planes started having issues with their ailerons. Just the ailerons. All the other control surfaces were fine, except the ailerons. The ailerons were locking up and refusing to respond to any kind of input from the transmitter. I assumed it was because of the cold and brought them back inside but now even when inside, whenever I bind my transmitter the ailerons go back to that specific position and stay there, and refuse to budge. I am super bummed because I don't have spare servos with me and think that because it only happens when they bind, and they are able to move to the position they stop in, they must be able to move somewhat and figure it must be something with my transmitter or receiver. If anyone flies in cold weather and thinks this is connected to that I'd love the feedback, as well as advice from anyone with suggestions. Thank You!
