Questions and answers
Hi Guys, Wev are trying to change out the Rudder servo and cant find which one is the actual cable, do we need to disconnect from the **** pit first and pull through???
To disconnect and replace the rudder servo cable on the E-flite DRACO 2.0m:
1. Disconnect the rudder servo from the receiver or extension lead.
2. Remove the damaged or old servo from its mounting location.
3. The rudder uses an SPMSA332 9g Sub-Micro Servo with a 170mm lead and may require a 305mm (12-inch) extension lead.
4. Install the new servo in the same location.
5. Connect the new servo lead to the extension lead or receiver, matching the correct channel.
6. Secure the servo and parts as needed.
An extension lead may be needed depending on the location.
