Tru Trak pitch servo circuit board
Several weeks ago I had concluded the pitch servo on my TruTrak Digiflight II was going bad. I finally found a replacement and bought it and all is fine. An engineer buddy of mine loves to take things apart so I said go ahead and see what you see inside my old servo. Here are some photos of...
