Hi,
I bought a Multiplex Heron RR which I have been truly satisfied with. Great flying characteristics, and I really enjoy using it.
However, I do have a few issues.
I have now replaced NO LESS THAN FOUR aileron servos and one elevator servo on the airplane. It is 8 months old, and this is simply too soon. It is important to mention that the replacement servos come from a second Heron RR (I have two).
The way the servos fail is also strange. They move very erratically and eventually lock up on full deflection, where they end up stripping the gears. I have also replaced the receiver (An Optima 9) and telemetry equipment, thinking maybe it was an issue there, as it seemed all too strange..
I may have the connectors under suspision, but then again, how could three connectors be bad on the airplace?
On a final note, I have been lucky to be flying with an AILE-FLP mix, so I still had control in the air despite having a aileron servo lock up in mid air.
I hope someone can help, has a solution to this type of problem - because I absolutely love flying the Heron, but this is getting frustrating!
PS: I live in denmark.
