Hello all,
I am trying to enter this hobby and I just started building my first plane. I bought the Scout Mini and everything was going very well until installing the servos. I still didn't get my receiver but I connected the servo to an arduino and was able to center and move it.
I found out that my elevator is too stiff (the servo can't move it even to "low rate" position). I am using 4,4g servos (which is the closest to the recommended 5g I could quickly use) and the rudder seems to move OK although you can hear it struggle ("vibrating") in the extreme positions. Is this normal?.
I suppose I might have left too much hot glue in the hinge area when scarpping it. The only thing I remember to solve this is to pass the hot tip of the glue gun through the hinge and "melt my way" to the paper along all the hinge line.
Have any of you had similar issues? How did you solve it? I have no idea of a simple and durable solution.
Thank you!
