Huch much are you asking for it with shipping? I may be interested...

[nightrockxxx]

@BRAAAPKID13 Still have it...never used it...I got the spare parts (not from Bananahobby) but I'll let it go for $275.00 plus shipping if anyone is interested.

[nightrockxxx]

Bananahobby still hasn't made good on their promise. They said that new servo's were coming my ....... three months later, no servo's. I've been calling them and all I get is "we don't have spare parts available, and we are discontinuing this plane!! Wait, on the site they say "Spare parts available!!" Still can't fly the plane!! Anyone want to buy it??

Turn the servo around. SIMPLE fix. Then adjust by turning the threaded ends until they're level.

[nightrockxxx]

Not a simple fix...The servo is glued in so you'd have to dig it out of the styroform with chances of damaging it as others have emailed about..on the servo arm there's 5 holes and I've tried ever hole with different variations of adjustments with no luck. Thanks for the response anyway my friend.

hint if any one can try but the push rod on top works better :D

[52outbound]

did you fix it if so can you tell me where you found the parts and how you fixed the roll action on the elevator

[johneyrico]

wat if you turnd the servo arround

[tallguysd]

Ok first off the factory made a mistake and put the servo in backwards! five minutes a little hot glue and your done. I'm not defending BH but this stuff goes on all the time! from all vendors that sale RTF kits. Im shocked if you read the RCG no one told you just to turn the servo around.this whole video should have never happened!

[SuperPianowizard]

@nightrockxxx $250?

[cbjuss]

What a public shame . I wonder how can a modelbuilder to be so helpless - use your brains man !

[jlabate11]

lol you have it backwards put the left one one hole 3 and the right one on the top hole

[BRAAAPKID13]

@nightrockxxx Interested but not at that price. Is it a 4ch? 2.4GHz or FM? Flaps or not? With float kit and landing gears? Here is one out the door with shipping brand new in a 6 channel 2.4GHz version for $260. If you are interested in selling it for $200 with shipping let me know. Thanks
