the good news is that the sail servo has also revived , i managed to lift the pcb slightly & spray some wd40 into the gap , it has then been standing all afternoon with the gap downwards over a tray , it was tested at around 1800 hrs , & found to be fully functional ! the only casualty has beeen the battery pack which is now nbg ! the hull / deck has been checked & ive found a 2" gap at the leading end of the aft hatch flange , its now being rebonded , a new hatch seal will be custom formed on both hatches . As for my micro magic ive ordered it through our local shop along with a hitec hs65mg feather servo ( 12.47 grammes ) and a planet R4MsJ 2.4 GHZ 4 ch rx . ive already got a few hitec hs 300 servos that i can use for the sail arm . jon
