Servo for SpectreCodename for Phantom III II - 10,000 Miles Test. We note that the balancer lever on the servo of the above chassis still has rivets joining the horizontal and vertical portions of the lever. This is very dangerous as the rivets are liable to fail. Will you please replace the rivets by nickel steel bolts. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
