I don't suppose the stab just needs re- calibrating, does it?

Well after a bit of investigation I have discovered two things.
1, The RH servo has a sticking gear (damaged tooth?). Not a good situation on a plane that only has two servos in total! It could easily explain the very erratic control. Being a narrow delta it has a very high roll rate so if for any reason the elevons do not follow each other exactly it rolls very rapidly.
2. The Aux 1 (flap) function was set to zero travel so no on/off function! I have no idea how this happened. Anyway it now works fine!
Now I have just got to 'extract' the built in servo and replace it.

The HP115 uses a V2 Orange 6 ch stab rx. This was an early (2014!) version that had virtually nothing could be altered. It was quickly replaced by a much improved V3 and then V4. It is no longer available. :woohoo:
