I'd be talking to that guy about a replacement plane, how is that not his fault?

Especially being a freeking Rep what's up with that?

Did he say anything about it when he sold it to you or was it just "it's good to go" type of thing?

Crazy... Your taking it a heck of a lot better than i would be I'll tell you that much.

Luckily I noticed the problem (plane was not centering correctly.) I was able to cut away the skin slightly and re-glue the block (generous amounts of hysol.)

2 servos gives some added security against all kinds of potential failures on these planes IMO.
I was not able to glue the horns into the two outboard hard points on the 2.6 260 I got. One is next to where the horn slot is and the other is 10mm away. I fixed that with epoxy and glass, also I found it strange that all the wing servos are outboard of their horns.

Cant beat the kits for the money though and will use dual horns on my next one.

I've seen guys modify 2.6's by adding an additional horn, so you can use the ball link between two horns (as mentioned above).
My 2.6 Yak was great on single 8711's in the wings (before I sold it).
