e-Align T-REX 250-450-500-600 > Align 6 gram servo binding!

Hey the everyone!

I noticed something last night during my T-rex build while I was setting up the tail control rod. When I was doing the set-up for getting the servo throw centered, all was fine until I installed the screw that holds the servo horn on. After I installed the screw, the servo speed got really sluggish and the servo wouldn't center properly. I took the screw back out and the servo started working properly again. I then ran the screw in and out a few times and just barely seated it and all works okay as long as I didn't seat it firmly. Anyone out there with tail wag or tail control problems may want to check this out if you're running the align 6 gram servo. The screw I'm using is the screw that came with the servo.

Align makes 9 gram for the pitch and the cyclic, and a 6 gram for the tail. the 9 gram ones were okay when I tightened the screws on them.

Now I have another problem though. The Apache 2500 smart charger doesn't want to charge my li-po battery. The battery voltage is 8.19 volts and all it does is flash a red blinking light at me. It's the very first time I've tried to do the initial charge on it. All of the jumpers are set correctly I think? The battery is a Poly-Quest 1500 mah and I've got the jumpers set for 3 cells and the rate set at 1200 mah. The only charge rate options are 250, 700, 1200, 2000, and 2500, so I figured that 1200 mah would be the wise choice. Out of curiosity I tried the 2 cell setting and it went into charge mode for a few seconds and then went to the green light indicating the battery was fully charged. I also checked the individual cell voltage and they are all the same. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Hi,
Just to let you know i had the same problem with two 6 gram aling servos, i had to replace it with a hitec 50 which works perfect.
