Well if the servos work and show no signs of gear damage. Then something
moved!
first look at what could have moved or compressed.. Like hinge tape or
links.
BUT I would check the servos if they moved more then a little;
To check the servos in the plane first before going to more aggressive
measures. Start with taking the linkage off the servo arm while the radio is
off and moving the servo through its range of motion SLOWLY feeling the arm
for any skips or binding in the gears. If a skip or a bind is felt change
gears.. If your worried at all send them in we have a very lonely service
tech even the Maytag guy thinks he is a boor.
How hard did you land?
Smooth Sailing,
Karlton Spindle
